Give me some recommendations for ammo in .308 that you've had good luck with.

Hornady ammo has done very well in every gun I've shot them in. For whitetails I use the Superformance 150gr. SST's in my .308.

I zeroed it with Federal Premium Gold Match 168 gr BTHP today and my last three holes were touching. Is this a good bullet for deer? I've read mixed reviews.

I believe Federal Premium Gold Match 168 gr BTHP are made for target shooting not hunting but I could be wrong.

The Federal Match bullet is not a good hunting round General. They're too unpredictable when they hit flesh. They're made for punching paper. I shot a coyote down twice last season at 75 yards. Joker got up and left the field. I didn't bother to blood trail him. The first shot was head on. The second shot was broadside while he was hauling tail.

Don't have a 308 but my Tikka T-3 25-06 loves Hornady interlocks.
