[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2118027, member: 10429"] On the 308.Personally I would not hesitant to use a 308 out to 600. I use to run mine out to 1000 for practice with a 168. The 175 Amax also were very good out to 1000 for practice. 160 something accubond would probably be bulletproof in a 308 to 600 even on a grizzly or an elk. But on the grizz I would probably be prepared to keep racking the bolt as long as I could get rounds in the animal. On an elk at 600 I think I would shoot for the vitals at 600 and not the shoulder. All depends on energy at that distance with what bullet your running. I was getting about 2825 I think on my 26 inch 308. That was with a 168 amax and 4895. The 175 were around 2775. Would have to look over old notes to be exact. So yes the 308 makes a good light recoil all around gun. It [/QUOTE]
