    308 projectiles, who's using what for hunting?

    I know there is no one stop shop for projectiles but just wanting to know where is a good place to start?

    Currently knocking everything over from reds to pigs to goats no troubles with factory 150gr american whitetails.
    In recent times I've shot a mature red hind front on chest shot on at 250m, 80lb pig at 150m and a solid billy at 80m all down on the spot, but looking at tightening up my groupings while keeping the knock down power, but purely after a hunting round.

    Who's using what and why?

    Using a tikka t3x .308
    shooting 250m and under
    suppressed with DPT
