[QUOTE="slowrunning, post: 1296690, member: 45968"] Here's my conclusion on the 308: Run the highest BC bullet as fast as you can. Based on the numbers, the 215 hybrid and 180 elite hunting Bergers are in my opinion the best options for a 308 - use whichever your barrel twist will support. Spend a lot of time researching what your bullet will be doing at different ranges/environmental conditions. Keep the impact speed at 1800 fps + with either of those bullets and you can expect adequate terminal results on just about whatever you're trying to kill. I opened up a coyote a week ago with a 180 and left about a 10" exit hole at 840 yards, no doubt the bullet performed well - if the damage to the exit side of that coyote occurred halfway through the inside of an elk, good day. Obviously if you can't put the bullet in the right spot, few other variables are likely going to matter. [/QUOTE]
