[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 402315, member: 2736"] Every round has limits and 800 meters is about it for the 308 ,And the military use (Killing People) it becomes inconsistent even in the hands of an expert marksman. But for targets it is very capable out to 1200 to 1400 yards and it has been used for 2000 yard Creedmoor matches all-tho not recomended. The best way to answer your question is for you to look at the ballistic charts and energy will tell you how far for hunting (1500 ft/lbs for Elk size game and 1000 ft/lbs for deer size game). Of course it will kill with less energy but that is recomended for consistant performance. For Targets you are limited buy ability and equipment.(Site set up,loads, bullets ETC). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
