I too will be hitting the elk hills with a 308 running 165 Accubonds. Took a bull last year with 165gr. Partitions and am also a large fan of the 308. Between bullet selection, easy to load for or find factory ammo, recoil ain't bad... it just works.
I actually just sold off a 300WSM, for my purposes, it just didn't seem to do much a 308win couldn't do. Just my $.02 though-
