So to be sure I went out and bought a pack of 65's 80's 100's , not exactly the whole box and dice but I figured I could easily burn out a barrel by trying out all the possible combinations of weights and speeds. At the end of the day I found the 100's shot the tightest group so I went for them.

Remington .243 twist is 1:9 right?
Guys with 1:10 or especially 1:12 wouldn't do so well with 100's I expect.

Full spread of load testing, all the usual business, the groups just never tightened up.

150 grain Swift scirocco 2 for the 308, the black tips look cool they work well,125 grain SST for smaller stuff.

+1 on the Blitzkings, been using both the 50 & 55gr in my 22-250 with some good results. 50gr with CCI 200 primer + 37.5gr AR2208 leaves the muzzle at 3834fps and absolutely detonates bunnies.
In the 338Lap I like the 250gr Hornady BTHP Match #33361 with 82gr of 2213SC for 2728fps
On the big gun I'm using 750gr Hornady AMAX and 700gr Woodleigh brass VLD, not exactly a hunting round but I once vaporised an unlucky marsupial with an AMAX so it sort of counts
