Typically you'll find the 165/168 grain is the most accurate 30 caliber bullet.
That being said, every gun has a preference and I've known a few that just shoot better with a 150 grain.
Personally I only shoot the 165s in my 308 rifles.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

i got a box of 150 grain corelocks to get my scope sighted in and bought a box of hornady something eldx i think but cant remember. The hornadys shot terrible so i ended up just hunting with the corelocks i had. Shot a decent 6 pointer that year that didnt go but 30 yards. Then walmart had a sale on the corlocks for like $12 something a box. So i stocked up. I dont shoot over a 150 yards so i figured it didnt matter to much.

My .308 prefers 150 grain Hornady SST's. Tried both 165s and the 168s in different bullet types but they do not group as well as the 150s. Like I said that is out of my gun, and as someone else already said, every gun has a preference. What gun do you shoot and do you know the twist?

My 308 likes everything I load in between 150 - 168 grain bullets. I just loaded 10 rounds of 150 HPBT's and 10 rounds of 125 grain Nosler BT's.
AU338Mag is spot on with the Hornady AMAX bullets. Great bullet for sure.

165gr Speer PSPFB and I roll my own from there.
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.

Every .308 I own groups best with Hornady 168 AMAX in a factory load. Not the cheapest, just the straightest.
