[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 1654993, member: 12387"] I've never killed a deer at 500 yards or even close, but I have hunted a lot with both .30-06 and .308 over the past 40 years. My choice is the .308 because I like a short action rifle a lot better than a long action rifle. May not sound like a lot, but there's a lot of difference to me in the balance and handling. If I were hunting in a situation that would dictate or allow a 500 yard shot I would want to shoot my gun a lot with a cold barrel over a period of time to get a feel for the difference wind direction and speed make on bullet impact.
