Thread: Short barrel 308 factory ammo suggestions

Allrigh then, factory ammo I have used a lot with good results on game from 22" out to 350-400ymax.
Federal blue box 150gr...just works from the end of your muzzel to 400y in a full lenght barrel if a little messy at bush ranges.
I think the reduced velocity of a shorter barrel would actually make it better if you cut max range down to 300y or so.
Belmont 130gr hollowpoint....fantastic accuraccy out of every 308 I have put it threw.....it is a very frangible projectile with not a lot of sd but picking shots neck or lung it is very effective.....once again I think with the reduced velocity of the shorter barrel I think it would be great at reduced ranges.
