.308 is the easiest caliber I have been shooting 175 grain Sierra since 1994. Stuck with it and even in the Marine Corps the M118 LR is a 175 grain Sierra BTHP.

The .308 will kill ANY animal in North America and will also work for any plains game in Africa. Magnificent round with large killing power when used with an accurate gun. You picked a good one Marine.
Mountain Man - first thx u for your service!! So glad to hear you state a particular weight and name of your favorite round. I just bought a new .308 and was wondering about a weight to use. I used 150 g with my 30.06 but didn’t really know why I chose that weight.
The fact that you heart and reply to comments with a channel your size is just a testament to your passion and dedication to your channel, appreciate your content man, keep up the great work ! 👍🏼
Been shooting 308 for many years, still does everything that I need it too. Just the one I choose. Shoot whichever makes you happy just have fun doing it!!
I've shot everything from pigs to rams, deer, and a few pretty big black bears with 165gr Hornady Customs out of my Remington 750 Woodsmaster 308 with the short 18.5" barrel and its done the job every time without failure
Finding a Remington 750 Woodsmaster is almost like finding a unicorn. Hold onto those babies cuz they’re a rare bird. I’d love to have one someday. Still shooting my grandpa’s 740 Woodsmaster.
I've been waiting on your video of the .308. I know my gun and ballistics but it's always nice to see someone else do the same. I handload my own 165gr. SST's and I can get 1.5 inch groups at 200 yards. I'm glad I went with .308.
Now this was a interesting video and I have personally killed a lot of whitetail deer with the 308. My 308 Remington bolt gun most definitely likes the 150 Grain bullet the best.
Adam I ain't kiddin Bro. It doesn't matter if you're a pew pew guy or not, just watching you is dad gum entertaining!!!! You are so down to earth it's just fun to watch! Great video!
I finally tested my CVA Hunter in .308 cal. Loves the Federal power shok 150 grain bullots. Not bad on the recoil and 1 MOA. Need a Cascade in .308 cal. Thanks for the video and testing WTW. 🎩☯️♠️🏁
I'm a little late to this show! Really appreciate the effort you put into this show and folks understand that barrel twist rate should affect your bullet choices, 1-12 is ideal for 165gr or less, where 1-10 ideal for 165gr and up! I personally like 1-12 twist for hand load where it full power or subsonic loads, easy on the shoulder! Thanks again Nate
I have a Remington 700P in 308 and I aight mine in for 200 yards. First time shooting it after sight in we shot it at 400 yards even with OLD cheap corlokts 150 grain put 4 out of 4 shots in the bottom of a crushed coke can. We now have another one I bought for my dad since everyone was that impressed with it. Cant wait to try further distances and other grains to see what it REALLY likes to get 1,000 or even more.
My Ruger Gunsite Scout like the regular Remington Core Lokt 150 gr. Sighted in, 2 in. high at 100, and I get sub. 2" 3 to 5 shot groups, and about 2 1/2 in groups at 200. That's using a Redfield 3x9 scope, solid bench, and good gun rest. It's never failed to drop a deer every year. Granted, all the shots have been 150 yds. or less. I made a previous comment about your video on the 30-30. I always take one deer with each rifle (Ruger and Marlin). Two a year is all I need for me and my wife.
I really like a lot of the information you put out. I have only been hunting for about 6 years now and finally got my very first deer this year and I got a 10 point, he made it real easy walked out not 10 minutes and about 25 to 35 yards away from me. after I sat down.
You are the man brother, you've single handedly have started my firearm addiction and taught me a ton. Went from being a traditional bow hunter only, to using only a 308 rifle this year for catchin the deerz. You're slowly becoming the Fred Bear of boolot slingers. Thank you sir.
Another awesome & informative video brother. Loving your channel. I never really was on the 308 train, until covid. My main bolt gun love affairs were with 270 & 30-06. But at the brink of Covid, those 2 calibers vanished along with reloading components. I couldn't help but notice everywhere had 308, well 7.62x51, cheaper than anything else on the shelf. Even cheaper than 9mm. So I traded the 270 for a savage axis II in 308. The 30-06 R700 stayed, she ain't going anywhere 😉
Just got the axis in 308 too. Are you shooting the 7.62 nato's out of it? I noticed it's a lot cheaper than 308 ammo and enough people shoot 7.62 out of 308 but wondering if the axis handles them well
Nice vid WTW. I love my Browning AB3 in 308. I use 168 grain big game rounds. If I see an elk while I'm out in the bush I want that do all round. Anywhere I can hunt elk with a general tag is like a lottery until I can get a network of property owners in the right places. Anywhere where I know I will find elk it's a draw. I'm also in grizzly country. I'd rather have the high powered rounds in case I run in to some bad luck. 🤤 That 168 grain Berger Hybrid dropped my 5x4 Whitetail where it stood so I'm a happy camper!
My .308 loves 165 grain RWS Speed Tips. My favorite round for boar stand at night. It does not damage the night vision scopes, and it is perfect for 100 - 150 meters.
Other than .22 lr and my AR and AK platform rifles, .308 has been my only other rifle caliber for years. The .308 can do most things well enough. It's not the best caliber for some applications, but it's pretty darn good for most. It's always been available, affordable, and easy to keep a good supply on hand. What's not to like?
Good video I have never tried this ammo both my 308 likes 165 or 168 gr match best factory ammo I’ve ever shot in them s federal gold metal match 168gr match
Nice video, good info. I’m mostly a hand gunner but picked up a Savage 110 Tactical in .308, going head down that rabbit hole…I have about 340 rounds of various ammo to test out.😊
I Have A PRIMARY ARM'S 4-14x44 HUD/DMR Scope On My Remington 700 PSS .308... Its Zero'ed At 100yds & I Can Hit A Man Sized Target At 1000yds, I Use The 165gr GMM Ammo...
I shoot Winn. 308 savage , where I shoot behind the house in the simi-wooded swamp , coastal nc. .308 is training me for a predator gun . (Yotes only) I use a 3in.x3in. target out of a elevated platform 100 yards out . My first shot out this rifle felt like a matrix moment 😅
@@WHOTEEWHO yeah man you’re the best!!! If you have the rifles available, maybe do a 17wsm drop and .30 carbine. Those are two guns I have and would love to see.
If your group at 100 yards is showing low, then when you shoot 200yds its 5"inch low, 1" lower than the 4" the drop chart shows, it could be due to the low group.
This is a valid point, also added point...open to opinion or discussion, some ammo performs differently at different ranges and shooters. So many variables. For example,and not a very good one, the difference between slugs an birdshot. Most people can handle birdshot like its nothing, some people can do that with slugs. Some folks can shoot pistols on a dime all day and then pick up a rifle and couldnt even hit a good idea lol. What a wonderful passion it is with firearms
Hey man Iv been hunting for 10 plus years but Iv always used the same rifle, I’m lucky and get to hunt where the deer come in close, but now ima use my 308 it’s been 6 years since Iv shot a deer with it and I have it sighted for 100 yards but I’m prolly gunna take a shot up close like 20 yards close, I couldn’t remember if I needed to hold high or low because it’s sighted for 100 and I’ll be shooting 20. Good video man I needed it
Nice video! In Pa., deer hunting, I sight in my .308 (150 gr. core lokt) 2" high at 100 yards which puts it right on at 200, 9" low at 300, 27" low at 400 and 59" low at 500. My Weatherby Vangard shoots a 1MOA group at 100 yards. I am at point blank range out to 270 yards. The other considerations - wind & rain. Why 150 grain? Can't get much else here any more. Thanks for the video!!
I went with savage ba stealth . Ruger made a proprietary system from my under standing . I have 3 other savage model 10s I can exchange in the chasse the Ruger is what one gun.
In my opinion the Ruger precision did better at 200 because you had a better scope. I've noticed on my rifles a better scope and more zommies on the scope helps with holding the same spot on a target.
The only 308 that I have is my ar-10. And right now I'm rocking Winchester deer Hunter XP such-and-such. 150 grain with black polymer tips. Everybody told me.... You're never going to get the accuracy with an AR-10 that you do with a bolt action rifle. Well guess what? THEY WERE WRONG.😁
Got deer this year with savage rifle topped with 4x12x40 vortex scope. Sighted in at 1 inch high at 100 yards. Federal 150 grain blue box. Ranged deer at 265 yards held dead on shoulder bullet did not drop but deer did. A d I hit exactly where I was aiming . Deer in freezer just my 2 cents worth
Huh...I always sight in at 25 yards, than 50 than 100 just to triple check, the only deer i shot at approx 200 yards, i figured i better aim a little high, so iput rite on the top of his shoulder, or just under the spine, and blew him over, but when i got up to him, i hit exactly where i was aiming and spined him, so next time at 200 ill keep it more down on the shoulder.
The RPR would likely shoot the 180 grain version better with the 1:10 twist barrel... your spinning them 165s pretty fast and might going outside of what that barrel likes
It would be interesting to see what the true velocity is compared to what it is on the box. Also how close the ballistic calculator would be at that speed.

.308 is the easiest caliber
I have been shooting 175 grain Sierra since 1994. Stuck with it and even in the Marine Corps the M118 LR is a 175 grain Sierra BTHP.
Now retired and still shooting the .308
May not be the best at one thing but it gets the job done. Never miss….!
Once you stick with the same caliber for so long, you learn it like the back of your little man…
Essentially it’s the KISS mentality.
Even a little toss up with grain, you still don’t miss. You can find ammo everywhere, surplus and all, cheap and gets the job done.

Agree 100% . The Sierra 175 GMM are wonderfully accurate.
Mountain Man - first thx u for your service!! So glad to hear you state a particular weight and name of your favorite round. I just bought a new .308 and was wondering about a weight to use. I used 150 g with my 30.06 but didn’t really know why I chose that weight.
.308 is by far not the easiest caliber. there are are far better options for that title.

That ruger precision rifle is gorgeous.
It is nice

Oklahoma has a special Holiday Antlerless deer season December 18-31. Limit 2
I think the weather is cold. I did loaded 308 use 168 grain’s Barnes bullet. Its get under 1 inche with 150 yards for 3 shots grove
Ok, watching it a second time like you asked.

Huh...I always sight in at 25 yards, than 50 than 100 just to triple check, the only deer i shot at approx 200 yards, i figured i better aim a little high, so iput rite on the top of his shoulder, or just under the spine, and blew him over, but when i got up to him, i hit exactly where i was aiming and spined him, so next time at 200 ill keep it more down on the shoulder.
I have yet to add a 308 to my collection.
No mention of barrel lenth and twist rate, These two factors must be take into consideration.
The RPR would likely shoot the 180 grain version better with the 1:10 twist barrel... your spinning them 165s pretty fast and might going outside of what that barrel likes
It would be interesting to see what the true velocity is compared to what it is on the box. Also how close the ballistic calculator would be at that speed.
