All things .308 Win

[Fireflyfishing]

I shot a doe last year at about 100 yards with my cz 308 loaded with 215 hybrids and it was a softball size exit.

What’s your muzzle velocity?

Mossberg 800A in 308Win

 

[MallardSX2]

For some reason I struggle with Hornady bullets. Sierra bullets seem to speak my language. There’s something about a 168 SMK in a .308 win.

Hah. I suppose so.

I'm not a big gun guy. I have a ruger American predator 308 with the 16 inch barrel that is threaded. I'm in the process of gettin a suppressor and really wanna dial this gun in a lil more before deer season. Right now I'm shooting federal fusion factory 165 loads. They shoot fine enough to kill a deer but I'm sure I can do better. It will definitely be a sub 300 yard gun, more like sub 200 yards with most shots under 100 yards. What bullets do you guys recommend? I do have the ability to get reloads but no more than I shoot I'd be more apt to shoot factory ammo. I'd like something that penetrates well, that's got some knockdown power, but also can make decent blood trails because it can be thick here where I hunt.

Hornady Interlock bullets are another great option for a 300ish and in gun. 150-165grains

I love the 308. The best loads I’ve co w up with use the 165g accubond and the 130g ttsx.

Have you had good luck with the factory loaded 130 TTSX? Or were they handloads?

 

[Short Track]

My Tikka .308 loves TTSX 168g out of the box. No reason to hand load. But I find copper needs more speed. I need to get range time with lighter copper loads.

Mine are handloads. Around 10 years ago before I started loading, I had pretty solid results from the factory 150g ttsx.
