I'm getting a new Remington 700 in .308 Winchester with a 24" barrel. I was wondering what grain bullet would be best for the medium-sized whitetail in South Carolina. I expect shots to be within 200 yards, and would like something that can penetrate some brush as well. I haven't gotten into reloading yet, so I am stock with factory loads. Thanks!
