Looking to purchase either a 6.5 CR or .243 right handed. Ideally would like to keep it between $450-$900 bare or w/scope.

Thanks guys, learning a lot from all of you.

Picked up a box of .150 grain Hornady interlocks. Going to see how they shoot once my gun arrives. Heard good things mostly.

Looking for factory ammo. Typically in my area it's very tough to get over a 100 yard shot in the woods. in fielded areas it's about 400 yards max.

Seems like finding any bullets in stock is a real struggle right now. I'd like to have 3-4 brands I'd be confident to buy due to the fact finding them is tough. The 150's you mentioned are one of them. Will I get pass through's with that round on a whitetail?

I prefer a complete pass through.

Thank for all the info guys. To be more specific, primary will be whitetail hunting with my Tikka t3x .308 (1:11 inch twist). Shooting capabilities are anywhere from 10-400 yards where I'm hunting.

What are some of the best performing .308 rounds? Whitetail hunting specifically. Shooting a tikka T3x Superlite .308

Just purchased a T3x .308 Superlite. Excited to test it out. Likely going to throw a vortex scope and may put a different trigger spring in to start.

Leaning towards .308 caliber given the longevity I will get out of it. Not likely a gun I will build myself but will make modifications to the trigger.

Anybody have any experience with the Tikka T3X models?

Thanks for the info. Curious what versions you're shooting?

Thanks for the info!

Interesting read. Im going to have to research some more options. What method do you like to use when cleaning your barrel?
