I just bought a beautiful 1957 99F in .308 Win. I had a local gunsmith do a trigger job on it and install a fiber optic front sight and a "U" notch rear sight. What an awesome gun to shoot. I want to hunt deer and elk with one load with 165 gr bullets, and load up a plinking load of 110 or 125 gr with a light powder charge so the trajectory is the same as the hunting bullet so I can go out in the woods and play with it and get good.
First question - What is a good 165 gr bullet that would be good on a broadside whitetail, and a quartering elk? All shots within 150 yards.
#2 - What is a good powder for the 308 that meters well?
#3 - What if any is a good brand of dies to use in my Rock Chucker press? I may think of a million more, but help with these three would get me started. Thanks in advance.
