I have a Savage .308 Win and use 150 gr. bullets. It is an extremely accurate rifle. I have been shooting various Sierra bullets out of it and find no fault in their ability to hit the mark if I do my part. In fact, they are supremely accurate projectiles. However, deer season is coming up and I wonder how good a hunting bullet I have with the 150 gr. Sierra Pro-Hunter.
From the deep recesses of my cerebral cortex, I have this notion that Sierra bullets in general are a little harder and less likely to expand well in game than say Speer or Hornady bullets. So even though I have this fantastic accuracy from these Sierra's, I wonder how good they are for hunting--especially when velocity falls off with distance. Anyone have any thoughts about this?
