if you get stuck just go find a safe bank in a area you are aloud to hunt in DOC land or what ever and put your cardboard box up do boxes of beer not exist down your way?

You could head over to the Gladstone Range that day. Make yourself known to a club member (someone not wearing a visitor lanyard) and pay the IIRC $10 fee. Then you can shoot from 25 - 200 and the...

Shearer That trip. Ranges 250 (top pic) through to 400-ish (bottom pic). Not sure what mag but likely base mag. First pics I've taken with it. All day time, 2nd to last pic evening. None in the dark....

Nothing wrong with the 178 eldx it does exactly what it's meant to and does it very well. Don't over think it.

As said above if only shooting out to 200m any lead tip will be more than effective. I’d just go with a box of 150gr of whatever’s reasonably priced. Always practice out further than you want to...

150g federal blue box has shot well in all my .308 S over the years.

I shoot Hornady ELD-X 178gr, have not hunted with it, shoots real well in my sako 85, think it's a compromise projectile trying to do all things well, for me the fact that it shoots is the big...

308s aren't picky. Grab a box of Sako, Federal, Remington, Norma, Hornady, Winchester with 150gn projectiles. I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference between any of them in accuracy nor...

Very fine rifle, mine shot stupidly well with 168gn ELDM's (hand loads) and also 150gn sako game head (factory soft points) and pretty much anything else I fed it in reality. Miss mine but too much...
