    Yeh I’ve always found the GK accurate and possibly the Pro hunter even more so.

    I've used 308 very extensively and mostly used 165gr bullets. The SST is great, as is the Serria HPBT, I used the plain old Hornady SP mostly as it was the most accurate. But really as above any...

    It could be the flat base. I don't reload but have tried loads of different flavour 30 06 cartridges in my M17 and the boat tails never worked well

    I have used the 165 SGK's in my 308, 30.06 and 308NM, and they do the job well, accurate and bang flop. I also use the 165 SST's, same load, and can interchange anytime in the 308 and 30.06. Same...

    I just sighted in my 30 this morning with 165gr Sierra Gamechangers (sako factory ammo). Tightest group iv ever shot to be honest. If the forum chrony ever shows up at my house il be set.

    Morning bumblefoot Having shot both 150 & 165gr in the .308 for years, I can say with reasonable confidence... that it doesn’t really matter. Your decision should concentrate more on what type...

    Good hunting and shooting with your new piece bumblefoot. Acquiring a new rifle is one of life's pleasures.

    That's the great thing about the .308 - plenty of bullet choices for reloading.

    Yeah. Probably a better choice at that speed but I had some left over from when loading the 300WM so thought I would give them a try in the .308. As I said they are a lucky projectile for me as I see...

    Unless of course you have circumcised the most versatile caliber in the world and then in which case I would recommend the lighter tipped frangible projectiles.

    For reloading 165 sierra spbt or hpbt are epic or the 168eldm. Mate runs the eldms @2600 out of his 18" 308 and it kills well from right up close out to 570. I ran the 165 hpbts and mate used it on...

    I have recently been using the 165gn BTs in my 308 at about 2550fps and have found them pretty hard for smaller animals. I have shot 2 pigs, 2 reds and a chamois with them over the last couple of...

    Have used 308 fairly extensively, less than 350y soft point cup and core projectiles like the interloc and game king in 150gr-180gr work very very well. In tipped frangible projectiles like the...
