Thread: best 308 projectile for shooting sika at close range

Greetings @Sid,
I was just out in the shed putting some loads together for my little .308 Bergarra single shot. I bought the rifle a couple of years ago for something that I could carry in my pack and the loads were intended as bush, semi open country Sika. As the loading progressed I thought this is what Sid was after. So this is my load CAC cases FL sized and neck annealed. Federal 210 primer and 41 grains of AR2206H powder. The projectile is Norma 150 grain. These days it would be classed as semi pointed. The loads should chronograph around 2,500 fps from the 20 inch barrel. Now this is an old Fudd's load and is likely not what you want but it is probably all that you need. The CAC cases are over 40 years old but are about the same weight as current Winchester brass. A suitable alternative to the Norma is the Hornady 150 grain round nose.
Regards and Happy Hunting Grandpamac.
