Daughter and I are going to SA on a plains game hunt in 7/2021. She will be shooting a .308. Zebra, gemsbok and wildebeest are on the list along with smaller antelope. All things being equal, velocity and accuracy, which would you shoot? Nosler 168 grain accubond lr or a 168 grain ttsx. Thank you in advance.
Sounds like an amazing trip! I wonder if I could make something like that happen some day with my children. I'm a bit jealous, and excited for you and your daughter!
I'm not sure you need to "limit" the 308 to 40gr of 3031 at this stage though. It may help to "work up" to a bit more recoil and muzzle blast between now and then. To your question, I doubt there is going to be a hunting bullet you will come across that will give undesirable performance at modest 308 Win velocities, at the typical distances Plains Game are killed, but if there was one, it would likely be one of the "harder" bullets, IMO.
