I have not shot Bergers out of a 308 on deer however, I have shot Federal LE tactical 168gr loads at various targets at various ranges out to and including 500yds. This was all "once upon a time ago" but the 168's did very well out to those distances and were well within minute of deer. I would expect Bergers to do just as well in a crafted handload. I can't speak for terminal performance on game but there are plenty of those that swear by them and at them. Best bet, load em and try em then report back. Good luck and good hunting.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
