That's alot of scope for a 50-100 yard shot. To answer the question.... something in the 150 grain category

165 sst will drop them in their tracks from 50 to 350!
The secret to a long marriage is to keep on dating, just as you did before marriage. We have "date night" once a week.
Hers is Saturday, mine is Thursday.
The only time a married woman gives those is if your not married to them!

165 sst will drop them in their tracks from 50 to 350! I like them for open shots, but he said he is shooting in thick stuff. I wouldn't want and expansion tip bullet in that. he needs something clunky to punch through the brush. he won't need the extra ballistics for a super long range shot. and yes, it would be nice to drop them as quickly as a SST can do, but I'm afraid his bullet won't hit deer intact if he clips some brush. Core-Lokt is the best heavy brush deer bullet you can get IMHO

Excuse me, but he needs one bullet. You can't swap for area and have the same poi. Say what you will I use a 140 grain Winchester Accubond for every condition. The results have always been bang flop, except one. That buck took three steps and expired.

I personally wouldn't shot a fmj bullet due to lack of expansion.
No point in just punching a .308 diameter hole in a deer and not having much, to no blood, to trail.
I've shoot the Remington core loc bullet and have had good success with it for many years. Fairly easy to find, and usually a good price.
As for the thick stuff, I read it as it limits your shooting to those yardages you listed, and you aren't going to be shooting through thick stuff.
150 grain core loc.
