Since no one has replied to your post as yet, I might put in my two cents worth. I am rather reluctent to use anything that heavy in my .308 simply because its a very heavy bullet and I would expect it would have no big advantage over like say a 175 grain for most shooting. For hunting I would think that if you wanted to use a bullet that heavy then go up to a 30.06 or 300 mag, where you have more powder capacity. Also your rifling rate has a lot to do with bullet selection. What is the rate of twist in your barrel? I have a 1 in 10 twist in my stock savage heavy barrel. Its supposed to handle the heavier bullets but not sure about 200 grain.
