[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 78834, member: 8947"] As Ric pointed out, the 308 is quite lethal at 750yds on deer. Certainly many on this board who have already proven that fact. The big issue is wind drift. The 308 is not much of a wind bucker. I switched over to the 6.5 270 and 7mm because of the winds I face in my hunting areas. These high BC bullets just work better at distance. I also own 30 and 338 cannons for very long distances. With most cartridges we shoot, there is little shortage of power to cleanly take game. The problem is getting the bullet into the right place under hunting conditions. The right combo of rifle, cartridge, support optics and shooter can accomplish some pretty amazing things. LRH is an investment in all these areas. Get the best you can afford, practise, practise, practise, and make sure when you pull that trigger, you will need to also deal with gutting and packing. Good luck with your adventure... Jerry [/QUOTE]
