[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2031045, member: 38048"] I don't know why anyone would want to use a 308 for 1000 yard anything. The 308 ballistics are poor at that distance. A 175 Berger vld at 2700fps has 600 ft pounds of energy at 1000 yards. 1250 fps. And has 95 inches of wind drift in a 90° 10mph wind. That's weak. The factory 6.5 Creed 147eldm load has 825 ft pounds and is going 1600fps and has only 60 inches of drift. And that's starting at 2700fps. Oviously the 6.5 Creed is no 1000 yard game harvester either. But it handily beats a 308. Shep [/QUOTE]
