As the thread name implies, what is the preference for hunting Alabama whitetails with a .308? I'm not thrilled with the ammo I've been using.

Many will say 165, but my twist rate needs a 150
Fusion and Core Lokts have performed well.

Federal Fusion 150 or 165gr works best in my A-Bolt. Took my hard headed self a while to figure out it isn't what I like to shoot, it's what my gun likes to shoot. Always been a Hornady Superformance fan for my .270, so tried to tell myself that it would work in my .308, too....nope. Wouldn't shoot a good group no matter what I tried. Swapped to Hornady Whitetail line and it was better, but not as tight as I'd prefer. Tried Fusions and got the groupings I was looking for.

Any quality bullet in the 150-168 gr range will do the job if put in the "kill zone." I really like Barnes TTSX 130 gr , but my Finnlight doesn't shoot them well . I'm going back to Hornady or Nosler , both shoot one ragged hole.
"Why do you ask"?
Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

I’m interested in reading about people’s experience with the new Nosler Whitetail Country solid base ammo. Y’all bunch of killers start using it and report back.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I’m a big fan of the fusions but I started shooting the 130gr Barnes TTSXs. I’ve been very impressed with the way they shoot and perform.

Whatever hunting ammo that's most accurate in your gun will kill whitetails.

I’ve killed a bunch with 150 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertips, great penetration and internal damage.

1st would be Hand loaded Berger 155gr. VLD hunting
If I couldn’t hand load I would probably go with factory Barnes TTSX or the Federal Premium with Sierra game king.

My gun likes 150 Core Lokts. I’ve gotten good results with Hornady ELDX and SST’s. Yes, SST’s. The Core Lokts are easier to find, cheaper and kill deer/hogs.
GO NOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
