buffalorancherWhat twist is it? I have a 1-8 twist and used 107 SMK on a couple whitetail does. This is not a good bullet past 400 yds. for deer but worked well inside this. I used 44 gr H4350 with Norma brass and Fed. Match primers. This load of 4350 is VERY accurate but stretched the primer pockets in the Norma going 3150 fps so I switched to Lapua brass and it is a significant improvement. I got the rifle right before deer season and the gunsmith only worked up loads for the SMK but I have since started using 105 A-Max and still haven't found a great load.

308SakoYou might well try an 85 grain bullet and the 4831 or R22 powders. Very accurate in my 1 in 10.

riflegunbuilderI have found the bullets of choice for deer to be 95 gr Noslers, Barnes X types, or Sierra GS. I had troubles with regular type bullets at my velocities.
