What is your favourite hunting bullet in 308 win?

[BigBraz15]

I have read a ton of things and have a number of experiences, but wanted to see if you are willing to share your favourite hunting bullet for the 308 Win?

I know there will be lots of caveats, so let’s say as an all around hunting round out to 350-400 yards as a max.

150 or 165 Speer hot core will do anything you need for most hunting, if your going for moose use the 180, in my opinion super premium bullets are a waste of money for anything in the velocity range achieved by the .308.

Sellior&Bellot is as good a place to start.
Good ammo and relatively inexpensive to buy.

I've had good luck with 180gr Federal Trophy Bonded Tip in both 308 and 30-06 Tikkas. Stable, decent BC, and hits hard. Longest kill I've had was approx 270yds.

165 Hot Core

 

[ebruder]

I’m using nosler accubond 180 gn and love them

 

[yomomma]

NOSLER 30 Caliber 165gr Partition ​

 

[saskcop]

165 grain Speer Grand Slam or Hornady SST. Stiff charge of CFE223. Cover just about anything.

Man they all work pretty great in 308. If I’m looking for an “all-around” premium bullet for insurance Nosler Accubond 165 covers most situations and has been accurate in my rifles.
If I’m not worried about “big” animals (grizzly, moose, elk) then any old cup n core will do the job

150/130 gr Barnes TTSX

 

[Farmer2285]

Either 178gr hornady precision hunters or nosler 168 grn accubond

 

[savagelh]

I've killed a couple moose and elk with the 150ttsx. They died with no drama. 250 on elk was the longest shot.

 

[CaribooBC]

Hornady SST 165gr… propelled by Varget. Work up your load to suit your gun.

 

[DGY]

Well there you have it 165gn cup and core or bonded and you are good to go. Partition is a great bullet but they are expensive! Speer hot cor or even the newish Speer impact they shoot great and are some what cheap if you can find them

 

[tony d]

My son has killed a boat load of game several elk moose deer bears etc with the 165 federal trophy bonded tip factory load other than that the 150 ttsx is also used to great effect
As far as accuracy we have had great luck with the 180 ballistic tip

 

[GrizzlyHill]

I use Remington Core lokt 180 grain. i hunt the hills in western Alberta and it's worked for me for years - it's accurate and cheap

 

[EJG]

168 A-Max in all of my 308's

For me, it's always been the NOSLER family !!
Asterisks are the ones I have hunted with successfuly in 308 cal.
My choice was 165 /168 gr...**Ballistic Silver Tips**, **Ballistic Tips**, **Partitions**. They also have Accubond's and LR Accubond's. Never used them in 30 cal, but I have used 140 gr Accubonds in my 6.5 swede !

 

[savagefan]

HDY I/L any weight from 150 up to 168.

 

[Dylan4570]

130gr TTSX looks really interesting. 3k+fps!
