hillbillyhunter1, I mostly hunt with handguns, but when I take the long guns out these are a couple of my hunting loads. For 308 I use IMR4350 44.5 gr. and a 180 gr. Barnes-x bullet. For my 300 mag. I use IMR 4350 68 gr. and a Barnes 180gr x-bullet. Get a reloading manual read it than start your loads off LITE AND WORK YOUR WAY UP. Try different powers and bullets.
