My .308 likes the Nosler BT's and Sierra GKHP in 165grn but hates the Sierra GK Spitzers in the same weight. I've killed more with a .243 and 90 grn BT's this year than anything else, high shoulder every one and DRT.

Its all about shot placement no matter what you shoot. I have a neighbor that kills them routinely with a .204 Ruger right here in SC, of course they get it in the ear hole or the eye.
