Whats your intended max range with the .308 Cam?
Have you tried the 155 A-Max?

Realistically 600 is about it with the 308 R93 and even then its got to be perfect conditions. Wind(read barely perceptible breeze) fucks it right up past 400.
Im thinking the 155 would be even worse up close? IE sub 300
Im determined to push out with the 130 barnes now.I know they still work well at 300/350 even though vel is getting lowish.
Im picking they will still work well at 400 from what I have seen so far
Just got to stop shooting at BIG deer closeish with the amax if i want all the meat

Yep ya got to play around to find what your happy with.
I used the 155 and took a couple body shots and they killed but I never recovered the projectiles.
I never stretched the legs on them either.
My favorite slug was the 130 speer HP.
Worked well to 350.
