    308 ammo

    Looking at shouting a mate some ammo for his 308 for a little job. Was going to do some beersies but thought i might do him a solid and go extra.
    let me explain.
    Got himself the 308 a while back from GC. Very much a newbie. Shot first deer the other day. Very happy. Asked him what ammo he used after he said he got a hundred. His comment was the cheapest they had. Had a feeling and i was right. Showed me and they are all the FMJ military.
    I have suggested he at a minimum he flat point some and shoot them into something for comparison, but should really get some proper soft points.
    Anyhoo, whats a good basic packet i can get him?
    Fed blue box, Belmont, Maybe even some Privi? The little job he is hopefully going to do isn't an 80 dolleroo job so didn't really want to go too steep.
    Already made a comment that he has 80 bullets left and will have to resight the rifle but has sort of begrudgingly admitted its the right thing to do.
    Stuff he has now is doing 2" plus groups at a hundy and I've told him that he will probably do a lot better with the sporting stuff.
