[QUOTE="skidlyman, post: 7887, member: 1751"] I'm wanting to use my 308win model 700ADL for Elk hunting out to 300 yards, I don't feel there is enough energy for a clean kill past this range. I'm not loading my own ammo yet. The rifle is accurized and shoots .5 moa with 168 SMK. At the range yesterday tried 3 differant Federal Premium cartridges. 165g bear claw, 165g Sierra Gameking, and 180g Nosler HE. This rifle has a 20" barrel and shot the best groups with the 180g nosler High Energy (2740fps-24" barrel) trouble is I cannot find this cartridge anywhere in town and need it by next weekend. I can find the Fed Prem 180 Nosler .... but not the HE! this round is 2620fps in 24" barrel. Any Suggestions? Thanks [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
