[QUOTE="liltank, post: 473759, member: 13275"] Michael Eichele is an excellent source for the .308. He helped me out quite a bit when I was wanting to do my .308 build. Right now I am using the 178 Hornady BTHP. With a BC of .530, I will be able to go a long ways. Haven't been able to check velocity, but I know deer will be in trouble to a considerable distance (800ish yards). I am planing to go to the 200 SGK (suggested by ME for its ability to open at low velocity) or 208 A-max (superior BC and low velocity for opening up) for really reaching out. I have yet to really play with that load since I am more centered on finding a good load to shoot groundhogs with out to 1000yrd or more. It has plenty of oomph with this bullet to shoot varmints that far and farther. Should my velocities be at or near where I want it to be with the heavy bullets, I expect to get to 900+ for at least whitetail sized animals anyway. Shot placement will be key in this application. At high altitude it will really shine. Tank [/QUOTE]
