[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2648911, member: 26077"] The 308 ideal cup and core bullet is 150 grains. With monos, speed is your friend. I shoot barnes 130 at 3150 fos. Perfect expansion out to 600 yards. The LRX is a better choice for shooting over 300 yards, especially in 308 or 06. I also hunt a lot with the 150 Hornady cup and core in the same rifle and get results that are great too good. At 3050, same poi to 500 yards. The issue isn't the bullet, it is how you are using it. A 180 Barnes mono works great in a 300 Win or Rum mag, not so good in 308 or 30 06. Guys need to pay attention to the performance parameters and pick the right bullet whether mono or cup and core. [/QUOTE]
