Bi-metal weights in .308 for deer?

Hi Gunners,

Haven't hunted since condor friendly ammo has been required. What cartridge is good for deer in a Savage 99F .308, thanks, PAX

most make all copper now. I prefer Barnes but I have .30-06. You'll need to test for yourself.

Barnes, Hornady and Federal all offer good ammo - you should check what works best in your rifle. I have found that for Blacktails, something in the 130 gr weight is fine. Maybe for big Mule Deer, you'd want a 150. Just my 2 cents, and I don't shoot past 400 yards and even that is rare.

One thing to note is any lead fouling in the barrel can cause accuracy issues w/ copper bullets. So clean the heck out of it before testing.

In a 300 savage I agree with the above 130-150. Most all of the manufacturers are quality and will kill deer just fine.

Thanks fellas, PAX
