That's not suprising.
EXPLOSIVE AND ACCURATE. TNT® gives you what you want most-superior on-game performance. Starting with TNT's thin precision jacket, we add internal fluting and a dead-soft lead core to ensure complete bullet disruption.

Long ago I standardised my 3006 load to 180g soft points. A bit of over kill for goats but kills everything up to sambar Yep, not as flat shooting but does a couple of inches really matter?
A respectable 150g would be a good allrounder for the 308. From foxes to reds, all dead. Just my 2 cents.

I will admit blasting stuff with the 308 is heaps of fun but the reality was I could do the job with less noise and less recoil ( and half the powder) with cartridges designed for the job.
