Hey guys, I'm looking at changing my load for my .308 from standard soft points to a more premium bullet as I want better accuracy and long range performance.
Currently I am looking at the nosler accubond for long range hunting up to a max of about 400 yard shots.
I want a bullet that is good for deer, meaning it must expand pretty fast yet not blow up on bone, it must be able to punch through bone. I wouldn't mind if it was good enough for moose or perhaps they require an entirely different bullet of their own?
Current contenders are (I want them to be 160-170 grain range, not really 150 or 180...)
-Nosler Partition
-Nosler Accubond
-Nosler "hunting" ballistic tip - it came out in 2008 and has a thicker jacket compared to the original ballistic tips
-Seirra game king
-Swift Scirocco II
-Hornady SST
-Hornady Interbond
Right now I am leaning towards the accubond with the partition in a close second - advice and perhaps choices I've missed would be appreciated.
Thank you
