Well, I just went back 100 days in the Hunting forum and didn't see anything related specifically to this and since the search feature doesn't allow for 3 letter words....
It looks like I'll be hunting - for the 2nd time in my life - this fall. I'll be with an experienced group, they're "family" and since they like me I'm sure I'll get plenty of help from them out in the field. Although they've already made jokes about getting me "lost".
What I need from you all are some ideas on what round to feed my .308 AR-10 carbine? The gun seems to like the medium weight bullets... 168 or less. The first time I went hunting I tried out some heavier loads and they wouldn't feed. Of course, I mostly shoot 147 gr. mil surp out of this particular gun which it runs fine on. I've also fired Fed GMM 168gr out of it and that also functions well.
I didn't see any hollow-point restrictions in the WI 2003 hunting regs... only saw that for FMJ. So, maybe I could just use Fed GMM? Oh... also, I'll be using iron sights and can't see myself taking a shot on a deer much beyond 100 yards unless I have something to rest on.
Thoughts?
