Gentlemen, I've looked at the new 160 FTX bullet
and am interested in possibly using it in my son's 308win. Has any one had any experience using it in anything other than a 30-30? Any reason it couldn't be used in a 308 win? And while we are at it, any good load combinations? Hoping someone knows more than me.

Thanks, Barry

Can't imagine why

They make Flex Tip Bullets for the 308 Marlin Express that should work better. Cost is the same the one for the 30-30.

A friend of mine shot them in 30-30 when they first came out. We hunt in fairly brushy/grassy conditions here in Wisconsin and shots are rarely over 100 yds.
He found them not to penetrate very good. It took him 3 shots to put a deer down. I didn't witness it but I asked him if it's possible they could have hit a small twig or some grass on the way to the deer and he said it was possible but the bullets hit where he aimed and pretty much broke up at impact.
He went back to rem 30-30 factory ammo and once again loves his 30-30.
If I were you looking for a great 308 bullet I would get some good old sierra 150 flat base ....they are stellar accurate in everything I try them in and super reliable in the expansion dept.
