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!
Brad,
M70 Classic, Edge stock, lilja barrel, leupy FX4 scope w/ Talleys, trigger job, metal work, cerakote. Will be the pride and joy for (hopefully) my lifetime of whitetail hunts.
If you think I'm puttin gay bullets in it 'cause deer are clever wimps, it ain't gonna happen!
I don't care if deer go down nicely (Yes, they usually do); I'm honoring the over-engineered toy with a decent bullet
