Thread: .308 round choises 150 grain vs 180 grain on red stags

I will buck trend and say buy a box of plain winchester 180grn cup n core loads..they recoil LESS than the same in 150...dont ask me explain why as dont know..possibly because its loaded slower?? and is more of a shove than a boot..but its a real thing..and they kill awesomely,its a soft pill so mushrooms well and leaves huge blood trails from chest shot as big exit.
I would not use sst load..have said why elsewhere,others love them.

try three of the 180s on paper so know where they going...... leave scope alone so your 150grn load is still sighted in perfectly for the maybe longer shot and use the 180s stalking in bush etc...best of both worlds then.
