What loading is being used to get a 180gn 308 to over 3000 FPS?
Kryptonite powered unobtanium projectiles

Yeah a far cry from 3000fps that was claimed above, especially from a short barrel 7600 series rem pump action. NAY he actually said "In 180g to move over the 3000fps" What the hell is in his brass? Semtex?

Yep, and pretty sure ADI uses 26" barrels. Most companies do

I also know a young fella who shoots Red deer with his 17hmr for the dogs @ there place near Kilcoy ! There is also a video on youtube of some dudes wounding goats & chasing them for miles ! I wouldn't recommend a 308 to anyone, but thats me. I would say make sure your competent to shoot sambar with a 308. No cartridge is a guaranteed kill, to presume otherwise is a recipe for disaster.When i taught my 2 daughters to shoot, it was always for the head. No wounding only a miss .
bigpete wrote:Head shooting doesn't wound hey....hmmmm.....seen plenty of critters get their mouth or nose shot off only to run away......I've even seen a 308 pass behind the eyes and in front of the brain of a roo out culling one night without killing it,granted,it dropped,but it wasn't dead.....

my experience only if you get a headshot, not EVERYTHING will drop from a 308 in australia...

Fark no Mark, freedom of speech mate just say it you have as much right to your views as anyone
difference is though you dont give a fark if they dont head shoot, if the non head shooters dont want to do it that's fine
I teach my kids to head shoot as well, aim small shoot small
they are taught ethical shooting IMHO so as to get a bang flop
and this is why
we eat the whole animal, not much waste and no hole's in skins
if you cannot shoot a golf ball out to 250 from a solid rest you are not up to it
there are a lot of different scenarios where a head shot would not work but that's where you make a decision
do l feel lucky, well do you punk love dirty harry
each to there own
