[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 137823, member: 8843"] My longest kill on a big game critter is 618yds with a 308 and Black Hills 175gr SMK ammo , the deer was a smallish doe and she only ran 30-40yds after being hit , the wound channel looked like I would expect a Partition's to look , their was some expansion and both lungs were wiped out. If I were going to hand load for the 308 and shooting deer out to 500-600yds I'd use the 178gr A-Max as it'll carry the energy out their and still expand pretty well. With the right condiditons and my hand loads using the 178gr A-max I would shoot a deer at 1000yds and feel confident that he would die quickly but only if their was no other way to close the gap , but the conditions would have to be perfect as an animal can move a good ways from the time the trigger trips till the bullet lands. But on average I would say 700yds would max [/QUOTE]
