I was wondering if anyone has ever gone above 180 gr for a .308 Win. I know you can get 190, 200 & 220 gr bullets in the .308 dia range, but most of the literature out there seems to suggest that those are reserved for the 30-06 with the larger case capacity. Anyone have any experience with the heavier bullets? I'm thinking a 200 gr bullet might be a good weight for moose/caribou/elk; as long as the hunting range is < 200 yards.
Mind you, my 180 gr Hornady IB have taken African plains game quite handily, including larger animals like Waterbuck, Black Wildebeest & Kudu; so I'm not sure a heavier bullet is really necessary...
