[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 419674, member: 10"] There are thousands of good loads for each in all the load manuals so will not offer anything there. As far as bullets, you want something that opens up relatively quickly but with enough weight and strength to break a shoulder if needed. IF no other bullet shoots well the 168 gr will work fine in the 308 but I would prefer to see a lighter, higher velocity bullet with a tipped design. Something like the A-Max mentioned or SST or Ballistic Tip or even the Accubond in a 150 gr weight would open up more reliably then the 168. In the 243. I like bullets in the 80-85 grain range for conventional range hunting with this caliber. The 100 gr Parition is really a bit droopy in trajectory. Get an 80 gr Ballistic tip or 85 gr Sierra SPBT and you will be very happy. [/QUOTE]
