Thank you all for your suggestions - looking forward to trying out both the 165 AB and partition (as suggested)! Also, thank you for the welcome :^) I haven't been much of a hunter these 59 years (except for sage rats) until the past two years. Got my first ever deer tag and antlerless elk...
The Nosler .308 Trophy Grade ammo page (150 AB, 165 AB, 165 Part, 168 E-tip) recommends BBL Twist rate of 1:10". Any ideas what I'm going to miss using a 1:11.25" twist? (It's the only .308 rifle I have :^)
I'm guessing the bullet will destabilize after 400 or 500 yards, which I don't plan...
