[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 166770, member: 4"] Kirby, I used to shoot a 308 quite a bit in my previous employment and you are on the money. My 20" barreled 308 went subsonic at 900ish. Shooting out to 900 was a "whos your daddy" experience, however 1000+ was a frustrating waste of time. I see the same issue with my 260, 7WSM, 30-06, 338 Edge, 338 Allen, etc. all of them go to hell in a hand basket at a certain range and it is shortly after going subsonic. I agree that faster twists help this but do not cure it. In short in my experience anyone who thinks that shooting those distances even with sighter shots is easy just does not get it and has probably never tried it. [/QUOTE]
