Since 90 grn 243 bullets work quite well on deer size animals, as do 100 grn 257 bullets, I don't see any reason why the common (probably most common) 150 gr 308 wouldnt work quite well.

I don't shoot factory ammo, but some times glance over the ammo on shelves, If I remember right the 150s are cheaper on the average then 165 & 180s. It may be different in your area.
