If I were deer hunting only with the 308 I'd load up a 150 or 165 Speer hotcore and go fill an ark. Biggest whitetail I ever shot went around 230 lbs on the hoof and I took it with a 150 Speer Hot Core from a 308... it punched through both shoulders and exited.
The 150/165 Speer is one of the best "non-premium" bullets out there IMO... a 165 in my collection looks exactly like that Accubond, at half the cost.
Deer aren't that hard to kill IMO, but to each his own... it's nice to have choices!
