I knew a guy who has a Winchester 88 in 308. He shot the Winchester factory loaded 200 grain stuff.. I didn’t know they made one. News to me too. I do know load information is scarce. And so is "on the job" performance information.

Last year, I started hunting deer in an area where bear are also in season. I loaded .308 Win with 180 gr ballistic tips of current manufacture. Did not see any bear, but the load worked fine on a couple of deer. Bear are "around" but not seen often.

Contemplating loading up some 200 grain bullets in a .308 Win.
Even at sedate MV velocity, still would have 2,000 ft/lbs at 200 yards (and 2,100fps). Plenty for hunting the timber. And a .308 200 grain has a tough to beat S.D. of .300+
Anyone have experienced observations on a heavy bullet in .308 Win? I use the Speer 180gr flat base SP. Takes up a lot less case space and shoots in the 2550fps range with W748 or Varget. Very accurate in my Rem 700

You may be limited by the rate of twist of your barrel and/or the length of the box magazine,if your rifle has one.

You may be limited by the rate of twist of your barrel and/or the length of the box magazine,if your rifle has one. I have a few .308 Win guns, but the one I intend to work up this load for is a Bergara B-14 Hunter -22" barrel, 10" twist and 2.825 magazine. Staying with conventional bullets, Speer Hot Core for load development and substitute a Partition if all goes well and seems worthwhile. So, should be fine.

I load 48.0gr RL-17 under a 208 AMax. 2580 fps from 20.5" barrel. I'm loading to 3.08" OAL.
The 200gr Speer is fairly short for a 200gr, given the flat base. If you have some RL-17, you might try working up to 48.0gr or so. Be safe, start lower and work up looking for signs of excess pressure.
