Investigators obtained clues including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing.
Hmm, wasn’t trying to suggest a 308 wasn’t a capable rifle. It very much is, excellent all rounder.
Even the significantly lighter again .223/5.56 will drop medium sized deer (although I personally think it’s a bit small for the job, to much risk of wounding without a clean kill).
I was just responding to the note above which implied it would be even messier if they used 308 rather than 30-06 - when the 30-06 is the heavier harder hitting round
