[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1568277, member: 2736"] Lighter bullets do a better job in cases like the 308 and 7/08, I try to keep the velocity close to or slightly above 3000 ft/sec. At these velocities, I like the 120 Ballistic tip for the 7/08 and 150 grain bullets for the 308. If stepping to a much more powerful 7 mm or 30 cal then I recommend a bonded core bullet for more controlled expansion. Also if you go to heavier bullets in these two cartridges slower velocities will slow expansion if you want less. 140 or 150 grain for the 7/08 and 160 to 170 grain for the 308. Shooting paper with these two cartridges eliminates the velocity needs and any good bullet with desired accuracy is best. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
