.308 win bullet selection for new reloader

[Wind Gypsy]

It’s pretty likely that 165 BTs and Varget is going to be my go to load for my .308 this fall.

That’s prob where I’d start too with a 308. @Bowmannate2000 if you are in need of varget, monticello fleet farm had some in stock yesterday.

Penetration is a wildly over rated metric with bullets.

A lot happens in the milliseconds between deciding to shoot and the trigger breaking. I know, only take a shot you’re certain of, but I was glad to have the penetration of a copper bullet when a slight quartering away turned into a Texas heart shot right as I fired at a cow a few years ago.

I can't imagine the mess of a Texas heart shot with a bullet that didn't stay together. The would literally be shit everywhere.
