308. Cheap and available ammo and can load up to 180 grain.

You can load any .30 caliber bullet there is in a .308 Winchester. That includes the 200,and 220s, or even heavier, you just need to make allowances for them.
What you can't do is drive a 220gr slug as fast as you can with a larger capacity case like the 06 or the .300 magnums.
with a 220gr in a .308 you can essentially duplicate the .30-40 krag in a modern short action rifle. And the Krag has killed dead everything that walks in North America, including record size grizzly bear.
Don't know what idiot came up with the idea that you can't use 220s in a .308, but its BS. 180s will do anything most people need done, but you absolutely can use 220s if you want to, and they WILL WORK.
