    Stick with the 150gr projectiles as P38 said they are more than enough for the animals hunted over here choice of projectile brand is up to you. I would try sierra gameking and hornady projectiles to start with plus you can buy sampler packs for load testing from gunworks on trademe that way you can try a whole heap then go for the ones that shoot best in your rifle without having to buy a 100 or 50 count pack just to try a few, if you are going to shoot no further than 250 meters I would not bother with ballistic tips soft point will be sufficient enough for that. As for powder ADI AR2208 works very well in the 308. Also Reloaders in Auckland is a worthwhile place to have a look at for Powder and other components.
