If I didn't reload I would go with the 308. I would shoot mostly the 147 gr FMJ stuff. I would shoot that off a bench, several groups, to see what the accuracy potential of that ammo is, and it really doesn't matter exactly what it is. Then I would shoot positions using that accuracy potential as a standard. Then for hunting I would simply re-zero for that ammo.
Your ability to handle that rifle in the field in different positions, using it smoothly and instinctively, mean a great deal more than the actual ability to shoot tiny groups. I've seen too many guys fumble in the field because they never got off the damn bench.
