I use my .308 for a quite a bit of unusual hunting. On saturday, I took a turkey using a 125gr Remington PSP handload that clocked somewhere around 3200fps. Expansion and terminal performance were unbelieveable. Shot was down the throat (unintentional), and blew out all of the entrails. The rib cage was broken into several pieces from cavitation. Ruined some meat, but I was able to salvage all of the breast meat and one drumstick. Accuracy of the load runs around 1" at 100yds in my rifle.
