I got the rifle , Marlin bolt action , a couple years ago as a gift and haven't worked with anything except 150 hornadys and ballistic tips but want to use it mostly for bad weather days , since its stainless , and also as a reliable spare rifle . mostly for deer but also to take along to elk camp as camp spare . gun seems to like the hornady's with RL15 and the ballistic tips with Varget but am thinking need to settle on a good 165 grn for a do it all load . Any body like a particular load and bullet as a do all for the 308 , 165 or what ever ?
