308/150gr.
Unlike the small caliber guys, you are in the sweet spot.
More than "enough" (always a good thing) oomph.
Not so much as to be hard on shooter or bullet.
Stay away from any bullet designed for the 30-30 and you will be fine
with C&C bullets.
Ballistic Tips, Sierra Pro-hunters pointed or RN, Game Kings, or Interlocks.
In that order, IMHO. Personal opinion only, any order would be fine.
Anyone thinking you need or want some mono premium bullet for deer in a 308
is just looking to "have the best"(most expensive)
Have shot deer with Partitions from 7mm and 300 magnums.
The results were slower kills than traditional bullets in a 308.
(Rib shots)
I felt the same way about the one I shot with a Partition with my 308. Also, even though they get rave reviews, I haven't been crazy about the 130ttsx in my 308. All deer died and didn't runt far, but not much blood to follow. Got me to thinking about the performance I used to get before I was a reloader and just shot Core-locts and Power Points. I love the premium bullets if I'm shooting deer with my 223, but I'm going back to cheap bullets in my 308.
