[QUOTE="TexSavage, post: 1969069, member: 6245"] You could use a 215 Hybrid in the .308 and from what I’ve seen 2,400 FPS is easily attainable. That would give you 1,850 plus ft lbs at 600 yards. I use the 215 in my 300 WSM, and before anyone says it’s not a fair comparison, remember a deer does not know the difference of being hit with a .308, 7Mag, 300 WSM, etc. if velocities and energy are near equal. So a heavier, more aerodynamic bullet would be what I’d look at if I had a .308, which is my next purchase. I’m also gonna check out the 200.20X from Berger as well. JMHO, your mileage may vary.
