If you wanna shoot that far accurately I’d go with the 284, 6.5 or 7mm so you get the best bc

18" .308 running 168gr eldm @ 2670fps seems to do a bit of this and that at any range, much better than sst at close range. Just wouldn't use it on a red at 15m in the roar apart from that it's the...

Wear a rucksack when you shoot, the padded strap helps. Shoot with relaxed face, both eyes open. One eye shut is a grimace halfway to a flinch.

Me too if I can drag my butt out of bed at 2:30am. The stags were going off in my spot on the 7th of April 1994, hopefully they are doing the same 28 years later!
