Does the 300 have the pachmayr recoil pad? If not, I'd change the factory pad out while you're doing the mercury recoil reducer. Will make it comfortable to shoot extended range sessions without spending the money on new stock.

If you are hunting deer with the 308, a 150 grain Hornady interlock will work just fine. Killed a lot of deer with a 3006 using the 150 flat base interlock, that I reload. But I will say that I have also killed quiet a few deer with the 150 grain factory Winchester power point as well. The only premium bullet I have ever reloaded were Speer Grand Slams for a 3006 to use on Nilgai. You don't need a premium bullet to effectively kill deer. IMO, shot placement, is more important than expensive premium bullets. Good luck and good hunting.

It does have the pachmayr pad. I haven’t shot it yet, so I have no idea about the recoil as it sits. I have my bases and rings in the mail, so once their here I’ll put my vortex on it and go shooting. After that I’ll see if I wanna make any change to reduce recoil.

I've got a bunch of partial boxes of 308 bullets but I would give you for load development if you want them. I'm in Pearland Texas if you're close by. Once I found the Nosler partitions shot amazing and we're highly recommended for large game I quit trying new things loaded a ton of them

I’ve never shot a rifle this big, so not sure if I’m just underestimating the recoil, lol.

I reload 308 with 178 amax. Excellent accuracy and unload a ton of energy in animals. I've shot pigs up the rear and entire cavity looked like it was blended up. Not saying it's the best but its darn good.
Used to shoot 168 federal gold match and it killed deer too and was accurate right out of box.
