[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2918555, member: 120824"] Run a ~130gr at modest pressure. Might consider a mono for the hogs in that lighter weight. Barnes has a 130grTTSX. As do all the more boutique copper guys on here(hammer, badlands and more) Nosler makes a 125gr Accubond and ballistic tip. Sierra makes a 125gr TGK. For powder, you need something that will still fill some of the case and get you enough pressure to get a good burn and keep your ES/SD down. H322 stands out as one that will get you above 80% volume and 100% burn at that low pressure, running about 2850fps with a 125gr. Accurate 2460 and N133 and RL7 all meet those criteria as well. You could also just try the 125-130's at full pressure and see how that is for recoil first. In which case you're up at 3150-3300fps with something like Ramshot TAC, H4895, BLC2, RL17, Varget, leverevolution. Alternatively, I highly recommend getting a suppressor. It will tame the recoil as much if not more than downloading a cartridge will. A suppressed 308 kicks like a 223, no blast in your face like a brake will do. [/QUOTE]
