Nice to see some life breathed into this old thread! Nice Pics Geedubya!
MD - some day, I will have to get a 308, just to add to the challenge....
I must say, I have yet to lose any animal, fairly hit with a bullet constructed to do the task, at the POI that I knew I needed to hit, to harvest cleanly. Taken many deer even with the miniscule 6mmBR.....that little rascal will surprise some folks.
No doubt, the ballistics are often more than adequate with most modern rounds, assuming shot placement and good bullet construction.
LR shots require proper dope, drop and drift as you all know, then taking out vitals takes care of business.
