Wondering if there are any success or disaster stories.
I'll be elk hunting this year, pulled a forpw tag, and am conflicted on what bullett to use. I won't have time to do any reloading and load development between now and the season, so I'm looking for input on different factory ammo.
I've done a few searches on the net, and of course there are a million opinions, but THR has never steered me wrong.
.308 savage bolt gun. I'm guessing shots will be within 300 yards.
So far it seems the choices I have run across is
Remington core lokt in 150 or 180 grain.
Winchester ballistic silver tip in 168 grain
Hornady super performance SST in 165 grain.
I know, "what your gun likes, and "placement".
Just looking for a little insight on what to try first.
Thanks in advance.
