The .308 will have a hard time making the trip to 1200 except with a few bullets. 800 is not a problem though. It has the advantage of mild recoil compared to the 300WM and longer barrel life as well as a bit lower operating cost. It is really not optimized for long distance though, but for recreational shooting……what the heck. If distance is your game, look for a caliber that will shoot a bullet with a BC of around .500 at around 3000fps. Once you get beyond 300 your ability to read conditions become much of the game. Don’t get locked into 1 or 2 bullet selections. Your rifle might not like them. Have fun experimenting!!
If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.
