    Better off using the 150gr softpoint. The 168s are very hard bullets and 308 not driving them fast enough

    read the message not the title "Hi anyone selling sako game head pro 168g for .308." bit confusing as they are 165gr and the powerhead are as mentioned in the title are 168gr barnes ttsx

    The gamechangers are not soft bullets. Come out of a standard 308 very slow. I spoke to a guy who promotes them heavily(reloads the projectiles to get decent speed) and has had good success with them but even he said they need to have an impact velocity above 2000fps.
