[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1470830, member: 32525"] With a 1:8" twist rate, I would try to take advantage of the heavier bullets, as others have suggested. Anything over 200gr should be great. Also, where are you hunting? If you want/need to use a lead free bullet, Hammer Bullets are fantastic and easy to load for. They are long for their weight and carry a high BC. They make a 214gr and a 227gr that would work with your twist rate. [URL]https://hammerbullets.com/product-tag/308/page/2/[/URL] I don't work for or represent Hammer Bullets in any official or unofficial capacity- I'm just a happy customer of theirs that really likes what I've used from them in my 6.5 rifles and am about to start development for my .300, and they're big supporters of this site. H1000 is a good starting point. If for some reason your rifle doesn't like it you can always look at some of the other suggestions, but H1000 is fairly forgiving in this cartridge. For brass, I like Nosler and ADG. That said, I bought my Nosler before I knew about ADG- had I bought ADG first I never would have spent the money on Nosler. Quality yes, but it's expensive. ADG has the quality and a good price. Primers- I have both the Fed215 and the Fed215M. Both work great, so buy whatever you can get the easiest at your local shop. [/QUOTE]
