which bullet?

[sureshot2040]

hey pards
im in the process of obtaining a 308 handi
what bullet weight does the bull barrel seem to like best?
i had a survivor a couple of years ago and although i shot a little 6pt buck at 215 yards
i never got around to experimenting with different weights on paper
has anyone already done the leg work for me?
thanks

Mine shot the 167 grain Federal Match...and the 150 grain Winchester power points best...

I've only shot one load in my 308 bull barrel, but it really likes the 168gr TSX Match hunting bullet with a mid level load of Varget. I need to work on forend pressure, but it definately shows a preference for this load, the lower 3 shots were one load, the upper 3 shots is .5gr more powder, all shot back to back in about 4 minutes or so at 100yds.

thats great im glad it is probably not gonna be to picky abt loads and/or weights
now to find a good deal on some hornady sst's or interbonds in either 150-168
