44.6gr of Varget under a 165gr Speer PSP
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

150 gr Hornady SP in front of a healthy dose of IMR4064. Sub MOA I my Ruger77, your results may vary.

Buy you some 165 grain Partitions or Accubonds for about $19 and load some up.
83% of all statistics are made up.

My 308 really likes 165gr Barnes TSX pushed by 44.2 grains of Varget through a 20" barrel. Going to roll some 130gr Barnes TSX and try them soon.

165 sst over 46grs of varget yields me the most accurate load in my rifle and is deadly for sure.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I'm shooting 180 grain Fusions but I only got my .308 last January and I've only shot one deer with it. I hunt the thick. I was going to get the 165s but store didn't have em when I went.

For an off the shelf deer load, my eventual favorite was the Nosler Custom ammo loaded with the 165 grain Nosler Partition. High quality, accurate shell that was flat rough on the deer.
