Default RE: Ammo for .308??

I hunted with my .308 and have killed a few deer with it. My rifle (Rem 760) really liked the 150 gr PMC SP. I might want to move up to a like a 165 or something for the hogs. PMC and black hills both seem to have the best accuracy for the cheaper factory loads. I think the ballistic tip type bullets are too quick to open and would not suggest them for the hogs or even deer. The AccuBonds seem not like to open on the thinner skinned game like deer. A good old fashioned soft point is my suggestion. Or if you want to spend the money, get the TSX's. The Barnes "X" bullets are notorious for extreme accuracy. I would go with the TSX or regular soft points. Just my suggestion.
