[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 297884, member: 376"] Berger 155.5 BT, or any of their heavier bullets, should work great. Might run out of gas with the bullets over 190gr if you don't have a chamber cut to suit - but with the new 210 BTs you might be able to dodge that as well. The Sierra 2156, the S175MK, S190MK, etc. should also work just fine. All can and have been used to make it to 1k from various length barrels and twist rates. I've personally punted the 'old school' 2155 (and its clone from Nosler) to 2900+ fps from two different 26" factory barrels - one a 1-10", and one a 1-12". .308 Winchester just isn't that persnickety about what works. A 30" 1-12" would be closer to what I'd consider 'ideal', capable of handling anything from 155 to 190gr, and possibly even 210gr. But find a load that works well in your gun, and that you can find components for easily, and go shoot. Working on your wind call will trump nearly any theoretical ballistic 'edge' you might achieve between two different loads. [/QUOTE]
