[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2064052, member: 29241"] A gunsmith years ago had a service where he would accurize any gun customers would bring him. He would glass bed, clean the bore and work up the best load for that rifle. He had "experimented" with many rifles and knew what was good and not so good. He shot in matches, before the PPC, and chose the 308 and the Sierra 168 grn match. For deer hunting his choice was the 308 with Sierra 125 grn. I would hunt with him on his big farm and witnessed many deer kills and will say out to 600 yards it is very effective better than many big cartridges in dropping the deer. I personally have chambered several 30 caliber chamberings and have shot many different 30 caliber bullets at deer, including 125 BT and Speer TNT thin jacket and shoot them at 4000 fps and does very good at that velocity. I feel that the 125 grn bullet in 30 cal. Is a very good choice from 2500 fps to 4000 fps. I have a 308 40X and 14" twist and is accurate with the 125 grn. Also a 30-378 25 lb gun with 14" twist and shoot 125 grn and up to 168 grn, but usually use 125 grn with great results. [/QUOTE]
