What is your preferred bullet weight in the 308win?
I was looking at the Nosler reloading manual which gives you an asterisk next to most accurate load for that powder. I notice with the 150gr loads it seems around 2700fps is the most accurate which is often midpoint of velocity window. Whereas if I look at 165gr loads it seems 2700fps is the most accurate which is often at the top end of load data.
So does it make more sense to load 165gr bullet weight over 150gr bullet weight?
I hunt whitetails but also interested in some hog hunting which I found hunting reserve down in Tennessee said shots average around 60 yards.
If you put them together straight I assure you there is good accuracy to be had well above 2700 with a 150 if a 150 is what you want to use. I have a 22" barreled 308 that tops out around 2650 with a 165, but it's cruising well above 2800 with 150's and several powders.
Hodgdon's top load of H4895 under a 150 grain Ballistic Tip has been a winner for me.
