The cartridge is fine, the bullet and weight suck.

Top tier bullets: A-Frames, Bonded Bear claw (any version), Northforks
Second tier (still good): Barnes X-bulelts (any version), Weldcores, Partitions

In .308 you want 180s or custom loaded 200s if you rifle is twisted for it. You can go lighter with Barnes.
