[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1743069, member: 111417"] I have never used it, but Federal makes a 175g Edge TLR round in .308 Winchester that will reliably expand down to 1400fps. Its leaving the muzzle at 2600fps and at 600 yards its still over 1700fps. My guess is that you could shorten up your barrel to make your rifle lighter and handier and still get the necessary 1400 plus fps needed to expand reliably. If they shot worth a hoot in your rifle, you would probably be good to go. I haven't looked at .308s in a while because I have been eyeballing the bigger 30s, but I would not hesitate to take black bear or moose at those ranges if I felt comfortable hitting at that range. The bullet will do the job. [/QUOTE]
