[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 2126036, member: 109327"] Yep, ands shoots them to a mile. There are much better guns to shoot that far but a capable shooter who can call wind or with a spotter who can call wind can stretch the legs on a short barreled .308 to distances most people think is impossible or BS. A faster twist then conventional thinking helps keep the bullet stable through transonic and into subsonic, think 8 twist on the 308. It's not typically going to be first round on target at a mile but once you get it worked in it is consistent. Besides most guys claiming first round impacts at a mile with just about any gun are mostly BSing, you make your money on the second shot at that distance. [/QUOTE]
