Tikka T3x lite bullets .308

[Jason277]

Hello all, my son recently got a Tikka T3x lite in .308 . I was going to try a couple different bullets for his gun both light and heavy . I have dies but haven’t reloaded anything In .308 yet . Just looking for suggestions. This rifle will be mostly used for mule/ whitetail and possibly pronghorn . Thank you Jason

I like Fusions in 30 cal

168 ELDM seconds from Midway will cover anything you need

130 ttsx for sure on the lite side, heavy, pick one. 308 very easy to load for.

For factory ammo my compact T3X loves the 150 fusions. Otherwise it really likes 168 elds or the 155 TMK.

I loaded 130 TTSX over Ramshot TAC for my son and got 3050 FPS. Killed his first deer like lightning.

I've seen very few 308 rifles that wouldn't shoot 150 or 165 Sierra game Kings well. They are nearly match accurate out to 400 or maybe 500 yds. Terminal performance on deer size game is very good. Sierra part number 2125 and I forgot the other one.
