    For hunting critters I'll probably stay away from FMJ. Might find some FMJ for 2 legged critters just in case though...

          I’ve had a lot of quality groups from Federal Premium with Nosler Partition and Hornady Outfitter with the GMX. That GMX bullet is impressive. Crushed an Aoudad’s both shoulders.

            i would expect poor results since it is not hunting ammo!

              My gun loves anything 168gr. A lot less options but tons more accuracy for me personally. I’m shooting a very lightweight low profile barrel.


              I chose the 168gr Berger hybrid hunter this year. Shoots great.

                    When I bought my 308 I started getting everything to load for it.

                    Powder was hard to come by then so I sighted in on core lokts. It killed so well I never got around to working up a load. 150gr CL easy mode

                        This is the only thing I've shot out of mine. I have been impressed for sure. I can't say its better or worse than anything else though because I've never put anything else through that .308.

                          There’s Hornady:
                          American Gunner
                          Precision Hunter
                          American Whitetail

                          I haven’t seen an American Hunter.

                            Shot the Barnes Vortex for a few years, and believe it or not, didn't seem to have the best results with it? Switched to the Hornady 150gr SST and it's been a little bit better. Once I have shot up all these SST's, I am gonna try the 150gr Core Lokt's. They are half the price and I bet they shoot just the same or better.

                                Same here. I reload too but my Rem700 shoots it so well I quit loading for it.
