[QUOTE="wygadgetguy, post: 2365549, member: 121045"] Hornady Interlock bullets have been my standard "go to" bullet for deer hunting sincce 1976. My most accurate load for my Ruger 77 tang safety 30-06 is the 165 grain FB spire point using 56.5/57 grains of IMR 4350 and standard large rifle primer. With this load, my Ruger rifle will shoot .75" 3 shot groups @ 100 yards. All Georgia whitetails taken with this load were one-shot stops. Moving to Colorado in 1981, I used this same load to take my 1st bull elk; however, it required 3 shots to drop the elk. Learning from that experience, I now load Hornady 180 grain bullets in the 30-06 for general big game hunting in WY and have rebarreled a 2nd Ruger 77 to 338-06 AI using Hornady's 225 grain FB spire point for elk and larger. I have had excellent results with Hornady. I believe you will find the .308 - 165 grain Hornady bullet and 4350 powder will be very accurate for you. [/QUOTE]
