I'd run a 150 in a 308w. No need for a 168 or 180. Speed is what works well with these mono metals..

The 150 requires more velocity at impact to open than either the 130 or the 168. I verified that with Barnes.

Yup, I just got an email from them this morning when I asked about minimum impact velocity for reliable expansion.
TTSX .243/80 = 2000 fps

TTSX .308/130 = 1800 fps

TTSX .308/150 = 2000 fps

TTSX .308/168 = 1500 fps

Wag more, bark less.
