Thread: What bullet and load????

Hi guys I am trying to ask a friend of mine to reload my 308 ammo.(Tikka T3) What would be a good bullet and load for ranges up to 400 yards for target and hunting. What are you using???

165 sst would fit the bill

Sierra Gameking. Not sure how much powder as I get them loaded for me. My shooting is all well under 100m. 1 shot kills

155 Amax 48 grains 2208 @2820 fps out of my Tikka t3

150gr Sierra GameKing with 2206H. I had good expansion with a exit on a red hind at 300+ meters and have not had a blow up at 30m meter shots in the bush. I know they are a softer constructed projectile. Always good accuracy and come at a good price

I second that man.

My .308 Howa shoots 165sst @ 2725f/s 46gn 2208.... Work up as this is a max load. Under an inch @ 100m. Bullets seated 20 thou jump.

I used to use the 155 in my wsm and I really liked it as a projectile performance wise

work up from say 44gr 2208,will probably find max around 46-47

Tikka T3 308 2820 fps

I am going to try 155Amax (45.5 grain2208) first as there is a shortage for SST bullets. I will try 165SST later when available. Thank you for all the replies.
