    I like Hornady Superformance ssts 308 -150gr or 165gr.The 150gr has the highist velocity and energy out put of all off the SHOP SHELF ammo in NZ.For a 300yd point n shoot,most deer just fall over.Doesnt take much to dial up for 400yds-500yds shots either.I dont need a drop chart,all dial up increments in my young brain to 500yds.I like speed,energy and deer fall over.

    I found the superformance to be a little too spicy in velocity and less accurate than the plain old hornady 150gr whitetail (soft point). Haven't recently laid down a group with either, just didn't reliably hit a 150mm plate at 320m for me vs the standard load.
