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

[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2274548, member: 3230"] I have shot five black bears with a .308 and definitely got the job done. When it comes to brown and grizzlies, I prefer a .338 WM. As for 600 yards, it really becomes a challenge in the wind. I don't have any .308s in CO right now, but my favorite 500 yard gong rifle is a .308. However, in gusty winds (seem to have them much more in CO than AZ), a 28N, 300 RUM, or a big .338 makes it almost a no brainer - yesterday I shot at my 509 yard gong in 15 mph winds - with a RUM I held 2 MOA into the wind and hit 3" from center - a .308 would have required about 5.
