*Nearly* everyone can hit a target at a mile with a .308, given a rig with enough elevation that stays stable through the transonic-subsonic transition, some fundamentals, a bit of ammo, stable wind conditions, and a good spotter.
Not entirely practical, NOT a high percentage shot by ANY means, but absolutely possible. Demonstrates what can be done if you really, really had to take a poke for some reason, but more of a confidence builder than anything.
Caylen is currently taking guys out to 1200 or 1300 in the 4-day PR1 with .308s and no prior training to get them through transonic, but going to a mile with a .308 for everyone isn't really worth the squeeze IMHO, since there's not much additional learning involved, and if there's any variability with the wind, you could do everything right and still chase the target all day.
*warning: shameless plug...
Come on out to a PR class with Caylen...He's got a great program, and you will definitely take something away from it, no matter where your experience level is.
