I've been target shooting since as long as I can remember but I've finally decided to get into hunting.

I own a Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle in .308 Win, and that will be the rifle I'll be using, and I'm sure you guys already figured out that I'm planning on hunting deer.

My problem is I've only ever bought ammo for shooting targets, so it was all about cheap, and ... well .... cheap; typically FMJ. But if I'm going to hunt a deer I want to bring down the animal with one well placed shot with the least amount of pain and I know the type of bullet I use will have a lot to do with that. So later this month I'm going to start sighting in my rifle with whatever load I'm going to use for hunting, and the load I bought to start out with is S&B 150gr .308 Win SPCE. From what I can gather SPCE stands for Soft Point with Cut through Edge. I've had good experience with S&B in general and thought it sounded like it would do the job, and it was on sale for 15.99 a box; and I had a 20 dollar coupon from Cabelas, so at the very least I can save the brass and finally add .308 to the list of calibers I already reload for.

So I'm interested in hearing about this bullet, is it good for taking down deer? What are the benefits of having a "Cut through Edge"?

Thanks for your time.
