Thread: .308 projectile selection- 1 bullet for all my uses

You're not shooting Elk or massive boars. A 150gr Sierra Pro Hunter or Hornady 150gr Interlock (flat base), they're dependable and won't let you down.

I use 150gr interlock for every thing from goats to cows.

I would have thought that they would sell you blokes some kind of tacticool self defence anti zombie projectile.

There are distinct differences between the hunting cultures of the different countries:
NZ - it's all about carrying the bloodied stag out of the bush on your back to prove you are a man.
UK - it's all about being seen to wear the right clothes while shooting driven pheasants.
USA - it's all about having a concealed handgun with tacticool anti zombie bullets so you can shoot the burglar breaking into your house.

Yup but the strange thing is that if home defense was really the name of the game... Wouldn't a double barrel 12ga take the cake for reliability? Not a super duper fandangled semi auto? In saying that I have a lot of friends that carry all the time. And most go for basic- revolver or glock.

I shoot cast boolits in 308 ,303,7.62x39. 220grain no 2 alloyed lead. In the 308,303 they wobble along at 1650 fps and do the job if I do mine. I use a 150grain HP in the 7.62 x 39 and use it for plinking and hunting . Virtually never shoot out past 150yds. Normally 40 to 100.
