[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2214978, member: 101791"] I see that Hammer is stating that a 1-13 twist or better is needed in that bullet. Should get some petty good velocity using that bullet in a .308. Other than that you could go to a smaller caliber rifle to use with lighter recoil. I used a 25/06 for a great many years and out too about 500+yds (120gr Nosler ballistic tips not available now. Limited blood shot at close range in the 25 to 50 yard range). 115gr Nosler AccuBond on deer and antelope should work good. I started my boys out with 25/06, and now going to one of my grandsons.
