165 Accubonds is best in the 308 and 30-06 in my opinion, its lighter and drives faster for better expansion. I use the 180 Accubonds in my 300 Win Mag. I have a box of 165 AB for my 308 to test soon.
Both 180 Accubonds recovered from nilgai. Used in 300 Win Mag.
I like to try the 180 BondStrike sometime, and Partition is a great bullet as well. Partition does drive them deep after shedding the front half, used a 140 Partition on a bull nilgai head on straight in the chest from a 7 mm Mag...
Congratulations!! We have been blessed with our first grandson two months ago. Life is short, and we need to spend as much time with them as we can, they sure grow fast.
Sweet rig and excellent shooting for sure. By looking at the target, 33.6 grains seems to be the sweet spot to start, a little seating depth adjustment and you ready to swat mosquitoes.

If using a cup and core bullet, I would make the OAL long enough to fit in the magazine, and start at .010" off the lands.
If its a Barnes or copper bullet, I would make the OAL length long enough to fit in the magazine, and start at .050" off the lands.
