My BIL always used his friends handloads, a Mod 742/308 with Sierra 150 BT. I loaded a wad of Hornady 150 SPs for friends 30-06 and 308. Deer and hogs, SE Texas, mostly under 150yds. My hunting buddy here inUtah uses his HS bought Browning '81 levergun/308 with 150 Corlokt from antelope to Bison with big mule deer and elk in between! ha
