    I have used 150gr Sierra Pro hunters with very good results. Hits hard, shoots accurate (in a range of different .308's) and are cheap to buy. Most kills have been up close in the bush but a few have been out to as far as 250yds.
    They don't have the best BC but as Mauser308 said under 300yds, high BC pills are not necessary.

    SST's: I have had some experience with. No good in the bush (insert explode on impact), but after 100-150yds they work well.

    Bonded bullets like Sirroco's & Accubonds work better at speed (3000fps + muzzle velocity), so maybe not ideal in a .308win.

    Cannot pass comment on monolithic bullets.

    Other options for sub 300yd hunting bullets:
    Sierra Gameking
    Hornady Interlock
    Nosler Partition

    Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction
