hunting with a 308

i have never hunted with a 308 before and i just bought one what are some good bullets to shoot deer with in a 308.

What are you hunting? Although part of me wants to just say that if you're hunting in GA, then any softpoint or those improved whiz bang (hornady, barnes, winchester silvertips to name a few) hunting bullets will do just fine.

remington ammo in 150,165 or 180 core-lokt ......

Core Lokt is all I shoot in mine. I prefer 165.

Any .308 will kill a deer in GA. Just remember no FMJ for hunting.

I have been useing the Winchester Power Point in 180gr. Great for brush hunting and I always hit my mark. The 150gr spitzer type bullet would be more accurate for long range { 350 yds. or more }. You ought to like the .308.

My favorite loads for my .308 (shooting for accuracy) are the Hornady 150gr SST's. A lot of people are of mixed opinions on the SST/AMAX/VMAX projectiles but they are very nice for shooting. Not really a hunter myself but you might try them out.
