I always start with the 165's in .30 Cal. Especially the .308. They've usually treated me well.

308WIN is pie easy... Stick a 165 softpoint over 42.0 grains of IMR4895 seated to 2.8". If the rifle won't shoot that load get another rifle.

I think that new 168 Accubond Long Range would make a great 308 Winchester bullet!

308 Win 168 Nosler Bt 46 gr Varget fed 210m Lapua brass
This load shoots great in my Winchester Classic fw .5 3 shot groups at 100. Not sure on fps. 2725 with Hornady 165BTSP's from my Featherweight XTR, Shot a group the other day and had a hard time finding which part of the little hole was which bullet.
