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

[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2121262, member: 103947"] Every year we have two friendly club competitions at our range. Maybe 6-10 guys at each spring/fall shoot. First one is an AR15 match 100-500 yards. 3 shots per target at all 5 distances. X is one inch on all targets. 10 ring is 2". The fall shoot is any rifle. The guys that shoot the matches are seasoned shooters but not all shoot long range. 500 yards to many is long range. My son at the time was 12 on a couple of the matches. He shot 150s at both matches one year at 12 years old with several X's as well. Pretty impressive really but he had years of shooting time in even at 12 and a custom built .260 that didn't hurt his chances. Talk about a proud Dad. Most guys high fived him and really made him feel proud. Couple of guys mumbled under their breath about a snotty nose kid getting lucky. Those two never made it back to the range again. Point is, if a 12 year old kid can accomplish what many don't think is possible, anybody can. Just takes a little time behind the rifle and a place to do it. If you don't have time or place for it, stick to 100 yard shooting. [/QUOTE]
