[QUOTE="AKBman, post: 985398, member: 898"] I have not hunted with the 208s, wind yesterday was blowing at 12-15(stronger I suspect out in the middle of space), I was shooting 461 yard across a canyon, the 208s were being pushed about 3", the 180s about 2" more. I was just plinking, so shooting at ranged rocks with flat surfaces so I could mark my hits, even though I couldn't get to them. The rounds yesterday were only loaded to 2700, trying MagPro with the 208s for the first time, starting low and working up, some of the easiest shooting rounds I've loaded. I really appreciate the inputs, I know that the 300 Win Mag is relatively slow in the 30 cal magnum world, but I have been shooting it for so many years now I am loathe to change, even as I am trying to extend my hunting distance to 6-700 yards. Toughest part seems to be learning to move the scope adjustments the required amount at different distances, completely blew it at 521 yards, which is as far as I could get my *** rangefinder to range. All in all, I had more fun yesterday than I have had at the local range in years, range tops out at 300, much more fun shooting prone of my hunting pack at over a quarter mile than sitting at a bench punching paper.
