    Perfecta 308 ammo experience, good, bad or ugly?

    I've just acquired a few boxes of this ammo, which is accurate in my rifle.
    I'm interested in people's experience and projectile performance on game
    Intended use north island bush 5m to 200 max

    Haven't used it, but should be good at those ranges.

    Used a couple of packets of 308. Kills as good as anything else out there. Needed slight sight adjustment but that’s not unusual. Used on a few goats and pigs but mostly deer. Last animal shot was a stroppy 9 year old Hereford bull that missed muster for a couple of years. 180 meter shot, took about 8 steps before dropping, worked ok.

    I've shot a lot of goats and several fallow with this load out to 200yd+. Dug a few bullets out of animals and found good expansion without jacket separation.
    The projectiles have a smallish boat tail. They usually exit smaller animals leaving good wound channels.
    Would be good to run a few over the chronograph.

    If it shoots accurately in your rifle then I'm sure it'll be fine for your intended use.

    Took these to Africa with my .270 after running out of time to do some loads. Worked well on everything out to 200m. All shoulder or heart shots.

    No issues with this at all in my experience, only pushed out to 200m at range. My zero changed slightly but that tends to be the case when changing ammo. Still would have been minute of deer without adjustment.

    I think the projectiles may be Hornady Interlocks. Fiocchi load some of there ammo with Hornady pills.
