[QUOTE="436, post: 2245426, member: 16609"] I've always owned at least a couple of .308 in different models all my hunting life, over 50 years now. I look at it like this; when it comes to power and it limitations I judge it like so... what can a .44 Mag do at the muzzle...; .44 Mag JHP 240 846 ft.lb at 1260 fp/sec. .308 Win with a 175gr bullet gives you 828 fp.lb at 1489 fp/sec. at about 750 yards for Deer size game, and smaller things; 550 fp.lb at 1214 fp/sec. works out to 1000 yards. Big stuff like Elk 1264 fp.lb at 1841 fp/sec. at 500 or so yards is about where I'd limit that load. My thought is.... seemd to have worked 50 plus years, I'm still very happy with my .308 Win/7.62x51mm Nato rifles. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
