like a sika with bugger all expansion. Different story if it was a 130 humming along.

+1 a 168 Barnes in a 308 doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, unless you’re a sambar hunter.

I don’t know much about the browning bxc but it also sounds like it’s designed for heavy big-boned animals; sika are definitely not in that category.

So I would go with the fusion. Haven’t used them in 308 but I’ve tried them in other cartridges and they were accurate with good terminal performance. Reasonably priced too

Read your other post and all the best in your quest to knock over a trophy, I’m sure it will be an epic few weeks for you!
