Tim,
I've shot a lot of whittail's in my day with the .308. Mostly with 150gr. bullets and those bullets would pretty much drop 'em with one shot unless I didn't give 'em a good shot. If most of your shots are under 100 yards (Like here in Pa.) then a 150 will do ya just fine. If your gonna load up a Barnes Triple X, then the 120gr. Barnes will do ya real fine.
For powder.....I've loaded a boatload of different one's and no matter what, I've always come back to Varget for the .308.
That's been my experience. Find a bullet your .308 likes. You won't need more than the 168gr. Use Varget. Shoot to find your powder charge and OAL.....then go hunt.
