I used them in my .308 for years, Federal Match Brass, CCI 250, 45.5 gr. BLC-2. Gave me about 2700 and killed deer very dead. Extremely accurate as well. I moved on to the 165 partition and RL15, for a reason I can't remember. Good bullet at .308 speeds.

This is my hunting bullet of choice in my .30-06. I load it with 49 grains of IMR 4064. It is pretty tough on the whitetails.

I've killed a half dozen whitetails with that bullet and closer to a dozen with the hollow point version of that bullet in the .308 Winchester with perfect results. Last year I recovered the jacket from the hollow point version in a 100 lb. whitetail doe just under the hide. The core left a 1 1/2" exit hole. The innards were paste and the deer did the typical forty yard sprint and crash.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

FIL killed lots of Eastern Sierra mule deer with a $3 Arisaka rebarreled in 300 Savage with those Sierras.
