.308 Ammo Recommendations

Ok the Winchester 150 power points didn't shoot that great out of the new Ruger American .308 compact. What would you try next? Core Lokts? Hornadys? Would you try 165s or 180s? The 150 Power Points were good enough to kill a deer but it wasn't a clover leaf group by any means.

165s Hornady Federal Remington...or you could start handloading.Varget powder would be a good starting powder with that .308.

Anything 165gr typically shoots better out of most .308s

150 grain Nosler ballistic tip or Accubond. Both are bad news in my 308.

Federal fusion 150s shoot well out of my wife's American. Try the 165s too.

I can touch holes with 150gr Fusions out of my Abolt.

150 gr. Hornady sst out of my little compact groups very well.

I have tried several out of my Ruger .308 American predator, I like the 165gr federal fusions

150 Hornady American Whitetail do really well in mine

Check out Georgia Arms website, have always had good luck with them

My 700 likes the Hornady 168 bthp.

150gr federal power shock soft points shot well out of mine.

ALL .308's love a 168 BTHP...165 is a real close second...

I can with my 150 corelocs as well.

My Tikka likes the Corelokts.

I have always shot 165's in .308 at game. Guns always seemed to like them.

Yep. They shoot just as good as my handloads in my 308.

I Haven' found a .308 that wouldn't shoot the 165gr Hornady Custom BTSP. My 30-06 American will shoot 150gr core lokt and the 165gr custom equally well with both coming in sub MOA

I don't buy ammo for my 308 but if I did I try fusions first.
