I am hoping to get some information from other owners of this rifle about their experiences with various ammunition. My .308 was given to me by my father and in all or the years that he had it he used Winchester 180 grain soft tipped rounds. He primarily hunted moose but has taken deer and bear and I plan to hunt similar game with it.
In discussions with the guys at our local gun shop, they are steering me towards a 165/168 grain round and feel that they are better suited to the rifle. My research on the 165/168 grain shows that muzzle energies and velocities range from 2619/2650 (Fiocchi) to 3008/2840 (Hornady).
Any comments that readers of this post might have will be most welcomed.
