[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 109539, member: 8843"] I have buddy that has a 308 in the VS platform , he sent his to Chris Matthews to have the barrel cut down and an accurizing job. He shot several groups this past weekend with Hornady TAP 168gr A-max ammo that could be covered with a nickle. the velocity loss from 26-20" in minimal maybe 100fps and that can be made up if you hand load. I don't think my friend plans to reload any for this gun as he went back and bought 11 boxes of the TAP ammo that were the same lot number. So as for sugestions , get out and shoot the gun to see what it can do then practice at all the ranges you may be able to shoot. the 308 is a great deer round out as far as and past what the typical hunter shoots, and the A-max bullet launched at 308 velocities is a pretty good bullet for deer.
