[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2381517, member: 118816"] I have owned a couple of Winchester Model 100's all in .308. I have fired all kinds of ammo through them, both factory and handloads and can simply say that they can handle any modern factory load or even handloads unless you are trying to shoot hyper velocity or really heavy loads. (200 gr or more.) My Model 100's loved 150 and 165/167 gr bullets, pretty much didn't care who made them although I stuck with Nosler and Sierra. They tolerated 180 gr but did not like them all that well. 1 MOA groups were possible, but SUB MOA a challenge. I pretty much preferred the Model 70, I and have both pre and post 64 models that would consistently shoot better groups than the Model 100. They are magnificent rifles in the hands of an experienced marksman shooting good ammo. My current preferences are Federal Premium and Sig Sauer Elite ammo. I can match their accuracy but it's pretty much impossible to beat them with comparable handloads. I would not hesitate to shoot a Model 100 for Deer/Antelope size animals or even Elk limited to 100 or 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
