Hey Guys -

Just got my 11 in .308. Used to shoot my trusty Rem 870 with a slug barrel, but my wife nicely upgraded me this year (11 FCNS w/ VX-III 1.75-6).

Most, if not all, of my shots will be within 50-75 yards in heavily wooded areas (hunt SW WI).

I am thinking that I want to shoot 180gr bullets (lead free ideally, thinking Barnes TTSX). Anybody have experience working up loads for a .308 with that bullet? Hard to find anything above 168gr for .308 on most shelves or even online and it gets harder when I start thinking about lead free.

Thanks!
