Superperfomace SST is the only ammo I've tried that wouldn't group under an inch in my Howa 308

SST is Hornady's version of a ballistic tip. I don't like them. They expand too violently and fragment. Some people like them precisely because they behave that way however.

Picked them up in Andalusia Alabama. Thanks Ridgelife, that’s a good recommendation to keep them😂😂😂 If we were closer, I honestly would if you like them and had something I’ve already shot in the rifle. What do you shoot in your .308?

You’re exactly right with your description If you want to shoot the right bullet in your 308 then load up some 165 Sierra game kings

Honestly, most any medium game bullet kills deer in a 308. The 150 SST driven at superformance velocities WILL naturally expand more violently. The heavier 165s and up aren’t as violent in a 308. Don’t shoot shoulders with the 150, and it’ll be less destructive. I like a lot of other bullets in 308, but I had a gun that loved the super 165s, and it killed stuff just great. Fact is, getting too picky on bullets (for our deer) on anything bigger than 243/257, in a larger case round, is just splitting hairs most days. Use what shoots good or what you can. If your gonna hunt bigger or longer, you can put the bullet effort into that.

I started using them in my .30-06 last year. Have been pleased with accuracy at the range and the performance on the deer and pigs I have shot with them.
In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

I like nosler partitions. Can't find any. I shot corelokt in it this past year. I just wanted something to shoot in it as its a new gun and needs to be shot, haha.

Blows em to pieces If you can shoot they’ll cut holes every time and they stay together retaining 80+% weight on the ones I’ve found that didn’t exit on quartering shots I’ve shot these 165’s and 150’s for many years and they’ve never failed me
