so who has shot a deer with a .308

you know why

Yep a fair few

Yes!

These days I’m well and truly a magnum guy but I do relish the feeing of getting a handful of soft points out of that old tattered box and knocking a deer or two over with the trusty .308

She’s always a bit of a contract going from the usual 3/4 pound match trigger but I get there in the end :thumbsup:

I have …but most probably shot more with a .223….

Yes, with two 308's.

I haven’t had a 308 for a few years and got myself one back in February, shot 50 red skins with her so far, only 2 needed a xtra shot (bad shot placement) .Most deer shot at about 300m-420m mark and the perfect distance for the 168gr A-max and ELD-m to reliably work in my 16” barrel.

I actually wanted to get a 260 or a 6.5 creedmoor but with the component and ammo shortage I decided to get the trusty 308 and can feed it most powders and projectiles with little fuss.

I used too
But now I know better

Yep.
Three types of deer, tahr, chamois, wallaby… it does the job on all sorts.:thumbsup:

For 20years,shot many deers with the 308,they dont get up either.;)

yip - love mine :)

If I had to choose one caliber it would be the 308.
I think most people would say the same if they had common sense. Let's face it ; it does the job, you won't run out of components and if we had to defend our country I know plenty of people with ammo ready to go.
It's a no brainer......

All of them.
