165gr Hornady Interlock or 168gr Barnes TSX, 44.0gr of IMR-4064, LR primers. It's isn't the fastest horse in the stable, but it is very accurate and will kill anything you are going to hunt.

I also load Barnes 130gr TTSX over 46.5gr of IMR-4064 or a max book load of Varget. All three loads are very accurate in three different .308's.

The Varget load is moving out just a hair over 3,000 fps in my Savage 10-PC with a 20" barrel.
