I don't shoot .308 but I shoot .270. The Speer gold-dot's are great bullets at a very affordable price. They are the same bullets used in Federal Fusion ammunition. The soft lead core has the jacket plated on & then die formed. Nothing to come apart or separate. Weight retention is very high if you can ever recover one to check. If you can't get the GD's go for the Speer Hot-Core flat-base (the boat-tails version are softer).
