Thread: Selection of caliber for new shooter(s)

My friend has a Tikka T3 308 and he regularly takes deer out to 700yds with his. He is a very good shot, spends lots of time working up accurate loads and practicing out to 1000yds.
As a new shooter there is nothing stopping you shooting out to 300ish yds. I’ve kept a record of all my shots since 2007 and my average shot is around 300yds in Canterbury.
Your ability to shoot deer at ranges at 300 yds will be more reliant on finding an accurate load, having a good scope and rangefinder, learning how to use them and regular practice.
