dojer-You are so wrong. I shoot a 168 gn at just shy of 2700 fps. At 500 yards it is still at 2649 fps. Im not sure where you get your info from,but you need to re check it. 2700 fps is very do able in a 308. I have a 24 inch barrel and use this for FTR class at 800 and 1000 yards with ease. For practice- I use no flags,never have used a spotter. And because you seem to think 500 yards is a hard shot,means nothing my friend. Now I do not endorse hunting at 500 yards in any way shape or form,but don't make it sound like a Hail Mary shot for some one with expirence.
