[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2245782, member: 52585"] I like the 308 for what you're planning. Just use a balastics chart for your bullet, speed and altitude. Remember, altitude means less air resistance and extends your balastic range if coming from lower elevations. I use the old 1500 pounds of energy but to me equally or more important is a minimum velocity threshold. Most bullet makers say 1800, some a little more and some a little less. I've set my minimum at 2000 to help ensure reliable expansion. I'm not a huge fan of solids in a 308 as they do best at high speeds. To be honest I don't have a tremendous amount of experience with them but have shot a few with ttsx's. We're I to go momo in a 308 it would be a 150 hammer to get the speed up. I like the nos ab, hornady interbond or a big heavy berger in say 185. [/QUOTE]
