My favorite whitetail bullet in the 308 was always the 150 Speer Hotcore. Used that combo to take my largest many years ago, an old 4x4 that dressed out over 200 lbs. Bullet was a complete pass thru. I call the Hotcore, "the poor man's partition."
Speer was on a path to making great bullets from about 1985-1998ish. I was shooting the 308 Grand Slam & loved it. Then, they decided to change the upper & lower lead pour formula and ruined it. Wasn’t too long beyond that they just kind of disappeared.
Made a Texas Heart Shot on a Coyote & it literally turned him inside out up to his neck.
