The answer to that question can be very subjective. I've always been partial to the 168gn of whatever flavor manufacturer blows your skirt up. For targets or shooting steel the matchkings shot great for me.. 168gn VLDs did as well, but finding the right seating depth was nerve raking. I no longer shoot a 308 win, but try those over the appropriate charge of varget and lite it up with some fed gold match primers. Should be good to go for paper or steel. 308 win to me has always been easy to find a load for.
