168 NBTs and 43.0 Varget. Swap out to a 168 Amax for paper. The NBT will leave a golf ball sized hole in a deer. The jackets are supposedly thicker on the 168s. I’d trust it on an elk at the sedate speeds the 308 generates.

Shooters pro shop. Nosler sells their bullets that are overruns or blems. It can save a lot of money and they have shot as good as first run for me and many others. What's not to love about a flat base bullet.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Have you ever tried using JB Bore paste on the rifling? On a new rifle I may run about 10 strokes on a patch to get a good group with a known good load.
