Back when I started reloading I was shooting a .308, my whitetail load in those days was a Hornady 180gr. RN over a moderate load of IMR 4895. I used this load to take the biggest whitetail buck of my hunting career, a 254# 11pt. bruiser from Maine's Aroostook County. Years of late I have been using a 165gr. Sierra or Nosler and IMR 4064 as my deer load, it has proven to be both accurate and effective on game.
