[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2019967, member: 10178"] I have killed a BUNCH of the NC deer with various .308 bullets in various calibers and one of the best that I have used is Nosler 125 gr Ballistic Tip for 350 yards and under, I only say this because I have not shot a deer past 350 yards with it. It is a deer size game bullet not a varmint bullet construction. As long as you keep your impact velocity under 3000 fps and put it where it needs to go DRT is usually the result. THE LOAD I have discovered that shoots great in numerous 308 win. rifles is 46 grs IMR 4895 with a CCI BR-2 primer in a Winchester case. From my 21 1/2" Heart barrel rifle it runs right at 3000 fps muzzle velocity. Most any 150 gr cup and core bullet has worked great but in my experience deer run a few yards with chest shots than with the 125 Ballistic Tip. I guess I have killed more deer with the Sierra 150 pro hunter and game king than any other 150 gr brand. Someone mentioned the Sierra 165 BTHP Game King. It is another good one. As accurate as the Match King and is deadly on deer. It is not hard to go wrong with any mid weight hunting constructed bullet for deer in the 308 Win so you don't have to have the new sexy bullet that cost twice what the old school cup and core bullets do for deer.
