Any 308 fans? What load?

I have a couple 308s. For long range steel targets I like 178gr eldms over varget. For hunting out of state 165gr accubonds factory rounds. In state I like 130 gr ttsx at 3k fps from varget.

My dad and I both shoot 308. Our standard for years has been the 168 grain TTSX. We use Varget and are getting 2555 out of the muzzle. For some reason he has started working up a load of 130 grain bullets.

The .308 cartridge is a do all killer. It shoots light and heavy bullets quite well. The lighter bullets on elk need to be well placed at reasonable distances. Get er done!
