[QUOTE="jlarose85, post: 2454900, member: 113450"] Wanted to get you all’s opinion on my factory options for .308 on Whitetails 300 yards and in. Rifle is a Bergara Premier Approach currently in its factory configuration but it will be wearing a 16.5” Proof at some point in the future so we can take that into account if need be. All shooting will be suppressed. Objectives are 1st to dispatch the animal quickly, 2nd to leave a good blood trail if possible since we hunt some really thick stuff down here in MS and 3rd to bloodshot as little meat as possible. Below are the loads I'm thinking I'm going to try. All of this is obviously pending the gun actually liking to shoot them accurately but I thought this might be a good starting point to narrow it down while I wait for my new scope to come in. Nosler Trophy Grade 165gr Accubond Barnes Vor-Tx 150gr TTSX Barnes Vor-Tx 130gr TTSX Federal Premium 168gr Berger Classic Hornady Precision Hunter 178gr ELD-X Appreciate the help and opinions y’all.
