    Here is some actual real world experience:

    https://youtu.be/E4qTP-NIiGA

    He is using 190gr Sub-X projectiles in his 308. Very good results, but do pay attention to his shot placement.

    As for factory ammo:

    300 blackout.

    Same.bullet as the 308 in the video, same velocity, will have the same performance.

    I do agree though that a larger/heavier projectile will likely be better:

    good old 45-70 the only government one should trust...
