[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 965987, member: 13632"] I'm totally pumped about the 308 and the 215 Berger for elk and here's why, I'm running them at an easy going pace of 2438 fps and my last three round group at 1030 yards measured 2.6 inches, at my normal elk hunting conditions I'll hit 1000 yards at 1580 fps with just shy of 1200 ft lbs of energy!!! I'm going transonic at 1700 yards gun) If we look at the info Jeff has on his longest antelope shot, low impact velocity on a light animal with a good wound channel, this bodes well for the 308 on an elk in the 1000 yard range. Good enough for the girls I go out with anyway :D The only downer one could possibly come up with IMO is trajectory but a quality range finder and good ballistics program and that's a none issue. I read Bryan Litz whooped some tail in his first FT/R match recently using a 308 and 215's!! [/QUOTE]
