Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .308 pleaty of taking anything in North America?

It would including all big game in the US. The 30-30 has killed a pile of NA over the last few centuries.

This post be much awkward.

Short answer: Yes.

Although certainly wouldn't be my first choice for griz.

If you can shoot fast enough it'll work for elephants, rhinos, and Cape Buffalo.

Winner.

To the OP:

I hope English isn't your native language.

the 30-30 did it until the wildlife got wise and quit dieing when shot through the vials with a 170 grain flat point.

I've killed a pile of NA using nothing more than a .22

Yes

Interesting,the .30-30 is 120 years old,so much for a "few centuries."

I do think that Ingwe was using it before it was invented, so it's possible.

If we want to nit pick, it has been alive in three different centuries. But back to the initial statement, with new premium bullets the .308 is better than it has ever been.

It gets along just fine with standard cup and core bullets too.

I'd use the .308 on everything in the US other than grizzly and brown bear.

With a 180gr TSX, I think a 308 is adequate for interior griz. The coastal bears can get twice that size though, so it certainly would not be my first pick for those.

I watched an 8ft Brownie, standing on his hind legs, take an 8mm rem/mag right in the center of his chest from less than 20yd, he still managed to run nearly 100yd, luckily it was away from us.

That must have been a hell of a movie..

! TFF!
