Default RE: 308 Range

Maybe someone could explain this too me. What does it mean, when someone asked the range of a round? Are you asking what is the energy level? Or most convienent round. Or just when the bullet is not stabilized any more.

The 308 will stay supersonic all the way up to 800 yards or so depending on the bullet. And is accurate. Carries 1000ft/lbs of energy up to 600 yards. Depends what you want. Do you want to guessimate the POI but keep your scope zero' d at 100 yards. Or have target turrets. Or just set the scope up so your max path hieght or drop is does not exceed a certain kill zone range? I call my 308Win my 200 yard gun. If the situation was right, I mean really right, I would take a 300 yard shot knowing I need to adjust for 8" with my gun zero' d at 200 yards.
