Is 308 a good caliber for deer and hogs? Don't think I'll be shooting farther than 200yds |

Yes it is. Although I prefer the 7mm-08 but either is deadly on both. |

YUP. Pretty accurate caliber too. I took mine when I sighted my 6mm in. Shot a .094" group at 25 yds just killing time, then a .4" group at 100yds before putting it up. 25yd 5 shot group 100yd 3 shot group the hole in the white circle isnt part of the group. Thats where I moved the point of aim before putting it up. I reload, and really like the choice of bullets as well as match grade hunting bullets available for it |

Recoil is the same as 270. We shot 308 out to 1000yds long as the wind aint to bad. Works for hunting out to 500yds long as u know your gun and have good handloads. |

I think the factory loads Super Premium or something along those lines will suit anyone just fine. I have a Springfield M1A Scout Squad rifle in 308 and it shoots anything I put through it and shoots them well. Don't use it for hunting, just plinkin! |

Had a friend that was a sniper in the mil. He used to shoot a M14 with an ART 2 or 3 scope. Accurate to 1000 meters when he was in his prime. |

I like m1a and they are a great rifle have a few of them. Factory ammo will suit anyone that is just hunting or plinkin with the 308. I just was saying u can get alot out of a 308 if u spend the time to find a good handload. Have u shot a ar10 or r25? Just got one that iam getin tuned in. I am shoting out to 500yd hunting. I limit my self even if iam shoting my 50bmg. the shows own tv aint showing the miss or wounded animals ether. |

I'll do you a favor - 308 Thumper - subsonic.... Does not come out the other side and imparts full knockdown..... Ideal 50 to 200 yard ammo on deer and hogs.... One of the nice parts about 308 is a broad variety of loads to choose from... |
