   Fisherman liked post by Hunty1 On thread : 308 - short barrel loads for medium-long range

   Yes at a pinch it will work, but a 16" 308 isn't the best tool for the job for 500m shooting, 500m is a loooong way for hunting. On paper it will work energy wise, but wind will be the real kicker...

   SDP has had a 300 wsm for sale before asking 'what cal for 500'. I would have thought that was the right gun myself, perhaps just needs a suppressor ????? In all reality no one has to shoot deer at...

   My Vx6 2-12 non zero locking turret is a bugger for sometimes moving off zero through rubbing etc, and I never know which way it has moved and by how much. Ive come up with a way to work it out....

    Fisherman liked post by BRADS On thread : 6.5 143 ELD-X, are they THE 6.5 hunting bullet?

    Agree, but at 600 meters I'd probably be looking for something with a bit more omph on a red than the 6.5, or I'd close the gap a bit Sent from my SM-S906E using Tapatalk
