I'd say that unless you'd been practicing at 400 yards, and consistently hitting a heart/lung sized group at that distance... then you ought to just get a little closer, and give up the quarter-mile stuff.

Betweenthe two?..... .270, but rather do it with 7mmMag.:)

Here's one set of info:

The .270's got the velocity & "energy" edge at all distances. The .308 has the "frontal area" edge.

The difference isn't huge, but the .270 wins by a neck.

Still... flip a coin!

I'd go with 7mm08 or 280.

RE: rifle cailber opinions
 

270 if going long distance, otherwise not muchdifference except the action.

RE: rifle cailber opinions
 

Well thats just boring!

I can't help myself: 25-06!

RE: rifle cailber opinions
 

Thats OK shato, I have a 25-06 and like it alot.

I'm a big fan of the 30 cal bullets. My choice would be 308.

RE: rifle cailber opinions
 

At 400 yards, I'd say I've got about 100 yards of stalking left to do. 200 yard zero with about 8" drop at 300 yards (130 core-loks). No a big fan of holding "outside the hair". But I've never shot anything over 100, so it don't matter much....

RE: rifle cailber opinions
 

For "long" range,I zero for 300at 100 it'll be 3" high,4" at 200,-8 at 400.
