What’s the “Glock 19” of hunting ammo?

You'll shoot more ammo sighting in your rifle then you will hunting, ask me how I know

I always used ball military surplus ammo to sight in. Then a couple rounds of hunting ammo to confirm.

I typically prefer heavier soft points for deer hunting, like 180 grain in 308. My rifle didn't group the last box I bought very well though, so I think I have 180 gr bonded bullets currently. Doubt I'll even break out the 308 this season though.

308 is all I used to ever use. Course that's all I had back in the day. Haven't used mine in quite a while. moved on to a couple different cartridges. But there ain't nothin wrong with a 308. Good all purpose cartridge

I’ve been on the same box of twenty for at least 3 years. I also alternate and use other calibers though, but those are mostly hand load only calibers. I’m pretty excited about a delivery of reloading bullets that are being dropped off today that I’m going to use for my .277 Wolverine. I’ll probably try hunting with it in the next week or so.

Been working on the same box of 120gr Wby 257mag about that length of time myself. Getin thin though. One round, one down. And I use other weapons as well

if you don't reload ammo.
Remington Core-Lokts are very good bullets.

I’m say there’s a difference in hunting ammo vs paper always worth the best you can offord.you should be able to zero and get your limit in a box.

I've killed plenty of deer with both. If I'm hunting longer ranges it's the sst's but otherwise the other does just fine.

I exclusively shot the sst classic until it became hard to find some years back probably due to covid or politics can't remember. Used other ammo out of necessity and found it had it's place.

Yep. I bought several boxes back in the 90s when a Kmart was closing it's doors. I bought them out at $7 a box for Winchester Power Points. That's what I was using and still like them today. I have 150gr for open plains and 180s for brush hunting. Works well in a fixed action. Autos, stay with the 150s

I use Winchester 180 gr Powerpoints in 30/06 for every occasion concerning big game. Been working well for me for decades.

Ain't nothin wrong with an 06. It's taken everything that's walks the earth
