[QUOTE="sourdough44, post: 1051811, member: 16114"] Is this for deer hunting in KY? The 'V-Max' bullet is mostly for varmints, at least in the 22 cal. I know the lighter weight 30 cal V-Maxes are rather frangible too. These wouldn't be a very suitable bullet for big game. I would go to a common 165 grain Sierra Game King' bullet, then a powder in the H(IMR)-4895/TAC burn speed. Hornady,Speer, and others could be added as options. In general, when one reaches to the upper limits of hunting with a smaller cartridge, premium bullets shine. Like if one was bear hunting with a 243. You 308 is ideal for most any KY deer hunting, with a suitable game bullet. The real key then is left to shot placement. [/QUOTE]
