    best 308 projectile for shooting sika at close range

    Hey guys Im looking for your recommendations on what rounds i should be using for my type of hunting.
    Almost all of my shots at sika are close range out to about 100m max. Being a small animal i find traditional 150gr soft point ammo doesnt expand as much as i would of hoped and they quite often run a fair distance before dropping which makes it hard to find them in dense bush.

    Ive heard a lot about sako blue tip 308 rounds that expand a lot quicker when they hit the target but shit they know how to charge!!!
    I have a friend that reloads so thought if there was something out there you think will perform much better than factory soft point let me know.

    Cheers

    Sid
