[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 73454, member: 8843"] [b]Re: Would appreciate thoughts on \"having it all\" to 600 yards.[/b] I agree that to much thought is put into the flbs at the target , if you can get the bullets in the lungs your gonna kill it I have killed deer with a 308 out past 600yds and none have gone more than 50yds all were hit with a 175gr SMK as far as a 600yd elk gun the 308 woulden't be my first choice and I don't think it would do as good of a job getting through the shoulder as say a 30-06 or 300mag. but if the elk is broadside at 600 and not moving i'm **** sure gonna shoot at him if the 308 is all I got but if it was a hard quarting shot I'd probably pass In short the 30-06 will do it the 300mag may give you a little more insurance of getting through a big bone but I'd have to say that any of the 280's 30-06's cases would work fine and most any of the 7 and 30 mags [/QUOTE]
