Default RE: Is .308 enough gun

I do not know if you got this question answered totally... Most evryone was comenting on the caliber

Currently I'm using Rem. Core Lockt 150grn. Is there a better alternative?
I really belive if you are taking what could be potential dangerous game take them with a dangerous bullet - a proven bullet - therefor I would recommend a Nosler 165 grain Partition... BC .319

2700 fps from the muzzle - 2672 fpe at the muzzle
2415 fps with 2137 fpe at 100

This bullet will not break up and it will penetrate. The mushroom is positive and the weight retention is outstanding.

I believe the 308 will do the job - bullet placement is a key factor - the Nosler will provide the performance you need. This gun should be considered marginal shooting Alaskan Browns. The experiance of the operator is really the key.
