.308 too big for larger pests?

I have never had any luck with Hornady SST, I much prefer a Speer if I am looking for a cheap bullet. The poor accuracy you get with SST can be frustrating.

I’m shouting 180 sst’s and a friend is shooting 140’s in his 6.5 to great effect. The friend shot 5 touching in his 6.5 weekend just gone, but I do see wayward Unexplainable shots every now and then...

I think this would engage the factory vs self loading debate? Factory from what I've heard do not have the same consistency as self loading?

I'm going to try these out, and if not, try another. But the guys at the shop all swore by them with browning. A lot of reviews have said the browning is a very selective barrel.

You’ll have to try several brands mate And probably several weights...every rifle is different - even if you take these out and they shoot pretty good Say 1.5 moa, there will be this nagging little devil prick sitting on your shoulder saying..”.but brand xxx will tighten that group up, you know it will”..and thus begins the journey.

In the old days, hand-loading your own ammo would virtually always see improvement over factory ammo. Nowadays, due to improvements in primers, powders, and bullets there is some very, very good factory ammo that can be difficult to better.
