All round hunting and target 308 ammo

Post by Jt-2019 » 05 Feb 2020, 9:56 am

Hey guys what's the best all round ammo for 308 I'm chasing 160+ grain something at a decent price that I can use mainly for hunting but also at the range from time to time. Any ideas?

Mate have a look at the Aussie outback ammo. A bit under $2 a shot but I have heard it goes ok.
I personally haven’t used it in .308 however got a packet of the .223 just out of curiosity. It shot well. Reloading ones own ammo is the way to go if you shoot enough or are looking for that extra bit of accuracy mate.

when l bought ammo l liked the win cases and the price so thats what l used to get
we didn't have the aussie outback stuff then, l would go with JimTom's recommendation and give them a try :thumbsup:

Their 243 ammo is 1.5 moa in my rifle without really trying ( bipod laying prone in the scrub on a hot day with ants crawling over me }
