I always start with the 165's in .30 Cal. Especially the .308. They've usually treated me well.
Camp is where you make it.

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. ![[Linked Image]](http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j108/kellet1/IMG_20141025_082724-1_zps3fda2ad_edit_1415584386311_zpsddsrhxtf.jpg)

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.
