.308 for deer, heck yes......... excellant rnd for deer. works on
Elk too !! I personally use a 30/30, but grew up hunting with my
cousins in Michigan, both of them used a .308. they have taken
280 lb whitetail then came out to visit me here in Wa and taken
140 lb blacktail at 300 yards !! I would never consider that range
from my ol 30/30. I really like taking out the old lever 30/30, but
after seeing my cuz take out that blacktail at 300 yds (312 range finder)
with a $150.00 bushnell scope, dang that would double my range.
a friend here in Wa state that introduced me to Elk hunting
15 years ago, used a .308 for Elk, his range was 250 yards, with a
180 grn bullet. he was very successful with it, it, after
20 years of using his .308 browning, he recently 3 years ago bought
a .308 winchester.
