[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1080041, member: 10178"] I would go 308 Winchester with a 22" barrel and load a 125 Nosler Ballistic Tip to 3000 fps and work out the drop to your 400 yard max and not look back. I have used the same set up with 125 BT and 46 grs IMR4895 out of my 21 1/2" barrel it does 3000 fps and I have killed 50+ deer out to 350 yards with no problems. Mostly BANG FLOP. Recoil is about half that of full house 150 gr bullets. I have a Leupold VXII 3-9x50 scope that I had target turrets put on it that I use with this rifle to make dialing easy. Mostly I just sight in with the POI 3" high at 100 yards and it will not be above or below line of sight 3" point blank to 280 yards. [/QUOTE]
