I have a .308 Vanguard a buddy gave me some years ago. It shot great when he bought it, then suddenly wouldn't group for chit anymore. I tinkered with it a little and never got satisfaction. He gave it to me, said if u can make it shoot you can keep it. I recrowned it and its been sitting ever since.

Decided its time to put it to work, since I sold the .270 and no longer have a medium bolt action. Provided I can make it shoot ok, I was planning on picking one bullet to run in it for everything I need it for, from deer to moose. Was thinking a 150gr TTSX or similar might fit the bill.

Was at the gun shop to get some, but saw some GMX and E-tips as well. I figured I'd wait a bit and do some research first. These are kinda pricey, and if there's one that clearly better than the others I'd like to start there. Any recommendations?

I've got a few powders that might work, CFE 223, IMR 4064 and Varget, so I'll try a few different loads and hopefully something clicks.
