game4 the thousand yard shoots that I believe they are talking about are a high power competition shoot. The 308 is a very popular calibre for this, in alot of instances alot of folks are rechambering the M-1 Garand from the 06 to the 308. Though I believe that 1000 yard shots are completely unethical on game animals, after watching the national matches at Camp Perry there is no doubt in my mind that an elk could be killed at that distance with propper bullet placement.
