   I run a 7mm08 with 120bt and 44gn of 2206h out off a 16inch barrel with a suppressor gets me just short of 3000fps, Kills real fast. A similar loaded 308/125gn combo will probably work even better...

   if just going with one of the above...would have to be 150grn interlok.........and have marked hotter loads for longer shots..still a dual load but two power levels...the beauty of two different...

   My estimate of a full case (Lapua) was just under 15 grains of Trailboss. A load of 14 grains behind Robert's 151's gave me 1565fps, it would be interesting to work out the ballistics to 300m.

   I used to run 125gn accubonds in my short Bergara before I sold it, certainly no issue dropping large body reds at 300yards and very light recoil.

   Well, you can kill a deer with a 147 grain FMJ loaded over 14 grains of AP70, going about 1500fps....just not at 300 yards. You have two choices: Go light and fast bullet, or heavier slow, ...

   I load my bush 308 (Bergara 16.5" suppressed) with the 30-30 pointed style Hornady 160gr FTX at 2350fps, mainly because my 30-30 didn't like them. Shoots well to 200m, I haven't tried them at 300 but...

    The old rule of thumb used to be 1000 ft lbs of retained energy to kill a light animal eg fallow, deer. 1000 ft lbs looks quite anemic on paper though with say a 308 shooting a 150 gr still having...

    3030 is perfectly capable out to 300 yds but irons limit what people think it's capable of. A 170 grain round nose going at 23 to 2400 fps will with a 200 yds zero only be about 4 inches high at 100...
