My wife surprised me with a new rifle in .308, A Savage Model 11 Hunter XP. I haven't dealt with a new caliber in a long time.
I use a gas check 168 gr cast bullet in 30-06 and 30-30 sized to .309 to good effect. This is for moderate loads, under 1,800 fps.
Can I use the same bullet in medium power .308s? It will be for target work only, maybe out to 300 yards. Would a lighter bullet, perhaps a 150 grain, be more appropriate for this caliber?
Thanks for any help.
