[QUOTE="Rogue Hunter, post: 914100, member: 46048"] mmh, Though the .308 isn't the best choice for a LRH hunting round, it will take antelope and deer out to 600-700 yards. The key is choosing the right bullet for the task, and your ability to place it correctly. Many of the premium long range hunting bullets need 1800 fps to expand properly once they reach their intended target. For elk, the range would be somewhat less. They can soak up a bunch of lead. Personally, I would draw the line there at 300-350 yards with a .308 Win. Also keep in mind that these are shots taken from field positions with the adrenaline going, and that's where only you can decide how far you are comfortable taking an accurate shot regardless of the rifle you are shooting:Dgun) -Mike [/QUOTE]
