[QUOTE="Technologist, post: 1015857, member: 62954"] Thanks. I'm thinking it might be worth it to try out a few of those as well in case the 168 don't fit well in my magazine. Unfortunately, 130 grain bullets aren't legal on moose, wild boars and larger deer, here in Sweden. Also, going from 168 grain bullets (I currently run interbonds in front of 44.0 grains of 203-B) to 130 grain bullets seem rather steep to me. If my barrel does fine with lead and copper 168's, wouldn't it be fine with at least 150 grain pure copper bullets? Also, I wouldn't hesitate to hunt elk with a .308, at least not for the sake of inconfidence in the defensive capabilities of the cartridge. [/QUOTE]
