[QUOTE="trebark, post: 542763, member: 19172"] The 208Amax is a great bullet in the 308. Load them with RL17 and a CCIBR2 and you can get them going 2600fps with relative ease. 208Amax has G1 BC of .648 that crushes any 175grainer. Run the ballistics of the 208Amax at 2600 and you will see that it is capable of taking deer at well beyond 500 yards. Last year a buddy of mine took a shot at a whitetail at 768 yards with his 308 shooting 208Amax. He missed, but never at anytime did either of us think the round was incapable of the job. In order to shoot the 200+ grain bullets, you will need at least 1:11 twist. Another great bullet for the 308 is the 190g Berger VLD. [/QUOTE]
