The 165 grain .308 Hornady IL SP is my goto deer bullet for the past 16 seasons in 308 WIN, 30-06. On whitetail deer, I could not ask for better performance. It either drops them on the spot or I can stand in the animal's tracks and see the carcass. My closest shot has been under 10 yards. My furthest was about 175 yards. I have never recovered a bullet.
