Thread: 600M GUN

Quote...It is accepted that if you do your job and put the bullet where it counts, you can count on the .308 to do its job and incapacitate the target. The US Army preaches an 800 meter maximum effective range for the .308, the USMC preaches a 1000 yard (915 meter) max effective range.

Interesting. From my perspective I expect that how the US Army interprets "incapacitate" is quite different to the "ethical clean kill" that I expect on deer and Tahr That's why I wouldn't use one for the OP's intended purpose. Nor would I encourage anyone to.
