I'm not set up for reloading yet. So, I need some suggestions for my Savage 10PC in .308. First for sighting in, then for hunting and long range targets. Hunting will be coyotes and hogs.

I have watched several hundred rounds of Hornady TAP shoot bughole groups out of several brands of 308 caliber rifles.

The 168 gr AMax TAP shot the best. Watched several deer thumped from near AND far. Would not hesitate on using it.
