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

Just go shoot , stop overthinking it m8

I never had problems and mainly used the Sako 123grain bullets....used 150 Amax to good effect when reloading.
.seen a load of deer shot with the 150gr Corelockts...cant really go wrong with the 308

.i'd stick with the 150's or just go with whatever you can get a ready supply of...

During the roar I exclusively use 180 grain Winchester soft point projectiles, I revert to my 130 TTSX after the roar. For angry stags I prefer the heavier projectile.

150gr Nosler Accubonds, end of story for me.

I believe it was Daniel Boone that said -- beware the man with just one rifle likely knows how to use it -- deer cant tell 150 from 180 so just shoot

I'd prefer powerpoint over 150 sst.

I used both, and a bunch of other bullets in .308. The 150gr sst is my least favorite. But that reflects my up-close-and-personal style of hunting where i want something a little tougher plus it was finicky in my rifle for accuracy. But really, no bullet is going to fail you.

That is the secret. You can't buy accuracy.
