[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 2927461, member: 127412"] Another vote for monolyths here. I use Barnes as they’re cheaper than Hammers and I can find them on the shelves locally unlike the Hornady CX or Hammers. Any of the above mentioned are HIGHLY likely to create two holes in the animal. I suggest the 130 grn. offering from Barnes. Barnes also produces factory ammo in the .308 WIN with this projectile. Alternatively, I have had outstanding results with the 165 grn. Sierra GK HPBT. Very precise bullet that is easy on load development and produces excellent groups as it’s modeled after the 168 grn. MK. At shorter ranges, like your hunting grounds, there should be no issue with complete pass through. Lastly, I’ll give a hat tip to the Nosler Accubond line. Long range or regular. Great bullets and will give you your desired outcome. For a .308 WIN, I would use light for caliber (150 and below) in the monolyths and bonded bullets, and 150-168 grn. in the cup and core family. Lots of great options out there. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
