I moved to .308 for my stalking needs (red and fallow) from .243,the reason was that a couple of big stags that i shot took the round and didnt seem too phased!......If given the chance at 100yds or less i will take a frontal neck shot but with two of these type of shots i had to follow up and take them with a heart/lung shot...I was surprised that a well placed 100g bullet didnt fold them first time at that range.
Now my query!...I had the Tikka cut down and a T8 fitted,i thought this made the gun balance better,i dont know exactly how much came off but the T8 more or less came right back to the fore end,the gun shot accurately and consistantly but i am now thinking after reading about twist rates and calibers that i may have dropped the power of the rifle and using the 100g it may not even have been pushing out enough power to be legal?
Right or wrong???
