FredGoodman Report post Posted November 30, 2013 I am looking for specific Loads for this bullet. I have a custom rifle that I built on a Sako action. It has a 28" Half-Moon custom barrel. The Berger .308 175gr OTM bullet is used in the Military as the best all around sniper bullet for the .308 Rifle. I do a lot of 500 + yds shooting. I want something that is accurate and hits like a 50 Browning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
308Nut Report post Posted November 30, 2013 Some branches of the military use the 175 in their 308s for an assortment of reasons but doesnt include hitting like a 50 bmg. It's a great all around 30 cal bullet but if you want maximum retained energy you might look to the 208 Amax, 210 VLD, 210 ALR or 215 Berger. The 190 VLD is probably the best balance between windage, energy and recoil where the 210s+ will drift the least and hit game the hardest but will also hit you harder. All that said, the 175 can and will get it done at longrange but there are better options for longrange hunting. As far as accuracy, they all have great accuracy potential. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
