A short barreled 308 and the velocities that it will achieve? Both of those bullets are not good choices for hunting. I'm assuming you are hunting deer? The Sierras are some of the most accurate bullets out there but Sierra has recommended against using them for hunting as long as I can remember. The Barnes is a hard bullet and may or may not expand at those low velocities. Do yourself and the deer a favor and get any of these - Sierra soft points, Nosler ballistic tips, Hornady soft points. All are reasonably priced and accurate.
Otherwise, next fall, we will be discussing why you are not recovering your deer.
