My father is getting up there in years, and he shoots a Remington 600 Carbine in .308. The gun, with scope, is under 5 pounds. It packs a whallop like you wouldn't believe. Outkicks any gun we own...and that includes several "big bores."

He has shot 180 gr's for years...and I realize that this isn't helping the recoil. Can anybody reccomend a good 150gr (or smaller) for deer. How 'bout the 150gr BT's? Anybody shot ballistic tips out of a 308????

This is in addition to a newly installed recoil pad.

Thanks so much.
