I'm taking-up reloading, and am going to start on my .308 Win. I've been mainly doing just reading so far, but am close to the point of having to select components.
Anyone have any personal favorite loads they want to share? The guy at a local gun store recommended a 168gr sp bullet. I was leaning towards a 130gr-150gr, for no other reason than it is a ligher bullet for a relatively small caliber. He said that the 168gr shoots fine. I'm assuming the heavier bullet would help in varying conditions? I'll be using it on deer only (no elk or varmits).
I want to use the gun out to 300-350yds if possible. Any tips on where I should zero it? Zero @ 250? Or is it all just a matter of preference??? Another handicap; It's an auto-loader; Remington 7400. Help!!!! ;-)
Any help/tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
