relaods for my .308win

Its been a while guys been flat out. Anyway i bought a browning x-bolt in .308win not to long ago. It has a 22 inch barrel great rifle for walking.

Im deciding between 125gr and 150gr bullets for my reloads. Either Nosler ballistic tips in the 125gr or Accubonds for the 150's.

Im only hunting goats and pigs on this hunt so either would be fine.

Powders most likely ADI

Just want opinions

Either would work out fine. But for pigs, I would stick with the 150 grain bullet for the extra punch and first shot kills.

Keep in mind I am no expert but I have found that 43 grains of IMR 4064 under a 165 grain BTSP with a Remington magnum primmer, gives great accuracy.
