Current Rifle : Remington 700 Varmint 26" 1:12 - SWFA 10x Scope/40moa Nightforce Base
Environment: SWFL
Rifle shoots 1/4" with 175grSMK Shelf Ammo
My question: Father in law shoots a 30-06 with 130gr Hornady for deer down here.. claims shots as far as 300 to 400 yards. Some of which are Taken with his 243 he swears by.
i have fired a few 243 and i am fan but i stick to my .308 for all purpose all around rifle setup.
---I have been inputing different shelf ammo into ballistics computer and from what i see the 168 Hornady Superformance seems to have the best trajectory or a 130gr load....??
Rifle will be used in Florida Fields Ranging From 150 yards wide and across up to 400 usually the max.
My plan is to sight it in at 200 yards, i was considering 178gr Hornadys/ numbers look good and close to my 175FGMM but he says a 130gr Flat shooting bullet is all i need...i dont doubt it.
What is the Highest BC/Flattest Shooting Hunting Round for Deer? can i get away with hornady 130gr loads at higher velocitys? or stick to heavier higher bc? All Help Appreciated . Rifle will be used 100-600yards max. i use a bow for inside 60 yards.
If anyone has a Remington Varmint .308 please post ammo reviews, i can buy a few boxes but unfortunately i dont have the money to just buy 1 of each and try them out. lol. hunting ammo is more expensive than the 175smkfed which is already up there.
I dont want to use my 175SMK because ive read against it for hunting but they group so well its hard to find anything else.
