I got an elk hunt coming up in November and just finished building my .308 win. Just wondering what bullet I should use. I got a lot of 748 powder and that's what I want to use. I want a bullet that will be as accurate as possible and still be able to kill an elk at 500 yards. Any suggestions and data would be appreciated.
 
Nothing wrong with the .308 BUT NEVER USE BALL POWDER IN COLD CONDITIONS, EVER.... I guarantee your point of impact will drastically change from summer 80 degree weather to 20's or lower...how do I know, cause I made the same mistake, never again...
Would H4350 be better then? That would be the other powder I have a decent amount of.
 
Cool deal Wild Bill,

Where's your hunt? And who with?

The 308's a great round, really tough to pick a bullet for the .308 that won't work well to 500. I like the 168 Berg, 165 Sierra HPBT and their boat tail. The 150 Horn sp and the 165 Horn btsp are all bullets that I use out of that round.
