I've a invite for a hill stalk and want to take my R8, 308. I don't reload and I've just got the 308 barrel, I've had it on the range yesterday and it seams not to be fussy about any of the rounds I put through it. From PPU 143grn, SST 150grn, 168grn Hornady Match and some home loaded Berger 168grns. It liked them all. It did however get the Blaser click with a friends home loaded 168grn SSTs. On inspection the ones that failed to fire looked fractionally longer over all. They had also not been struck. They were his hunting round for his Sauer 200..Is this common? Can you recommend a good factory 308 round for hill stalking? I've used Hornady SSTs exclusively in my 243 to great effect.
