[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 284246, member: 1007"] In the 308, mostly 150's. You can get the velocity up to a point you have reliable expansion farther than the 165's, 180's or 200's. I have also used the 180 at good velocities (2700+) but find the 150's adequete. My cousin shot clean through a mature bull moose last summer at 600 yards with the 150 AB. Sounds a bit light for that task and maybe it is, but it worked. As a side note, I am getting superb speeds out of my new Hart 26" 11x barrel with all bullets except the 150's. 2700-2800 out of the 178 AMAX and 2700 out of the 190's, 2560 from the 208 AMAX. Federal gold medal match is running 2785 with the 168 SMK's. Primers are perfect and extraction is as easy as if there wasnt a case in the chamber in all loads. 150's are average at 2900-2950.
