Bullets makers are designing bullets for particular jobs in today modern hunting world. But remember this theory as you go about choosing rifles and loads. The man who shoots mainly one rifle with one load for everything in north america up to brown bear, will more than likely know his rifle better, his load better, shoot futher will better consistancy than anyone having to trade guns or resight in for a different load throughout the hunting seasons. In short you want a successful hunt everytime pick a load stick with it. And let your knowledge and accuracy prove the results.

I choose the 165 as my all around .308 caliber load. Its the only one I need. Tested and proven from 10yds to 535yds in the hunting field on heavy game like elk. Deer don't even have a chance. lol
