Thread: 30cal hunting projectiles

168 Amax works irrespective of range, 178 Amax slightly better, if 150 is the criteria: 150 Sierra Prohunter is the best: 2900fps achievable with W748 or H335, flat base that holds together whatever the point of aim or range, front that sheds and spreads for a decent wound channel and secondary mechanical wounding. Sierra Gamekings tend to destruct quickly at close range and can lack penetration on the wrong angles.

The above cup and core bullets are cheap and always kill well without needing truckloads of speed. The best TTSX for 308 is the 110, in my 20" barrel it gets 3300fps and kills fast inside 250, the TTSX needs speed.
