Can 308 do everything you need a rifle to do under 600 yards?

[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2119575, member: 88320"] So a 308 win shooting 180 Berger EH at 2800 fps (26in barrel suppressed) has ~1800fps and ~1300FT-LBS at 900 yards based on numbers I ran on Berger's ballistic chart. Not your grand-dads .308 anymore with better powders and bullets, those numbers will tell you that a 308 will do just fine at 600yds and then some. Truth be told .308 we would all be smart to shoot a .308 with its barrel life, and component availability, but it just ain't sexy but it is effective and more than enough gun. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot/kill at 800yds with a properly built 308 at an elk. [/QUOTE]
