Awesome round (or bullet, projectile, or whatever silliness folks want to make an issue with. Tomato/ tamato). Proven "bullet" for me from coyote to Eland...and many in between👍

I've been using Berger 168gr Hunter Classics for the past few years in my .308. Works great IMO.

Every single bullet manufacturer has got it wrong. I have dug through over 100 boxes of assorted manufacturers bullets in my reloading room and I can’t find the word “Projectile” on a single one. The word “Bullet” is printed everywhere. In the bold, the small print.  Bullet, bullet, bullet. It’s almost ridicules how many times the word “Bullet” is printed on some of these boxes. Even if a alien (Outerspace type🙃) was to hold one of these boxes, he would report his findings here on earth. That he had in fact held a box of bullets. That’s of course if the said alien (Outerspace type) has a basic understanding of the English launguage or of course a translator. Someone needs to start making some calls to some of the major bullet manufacturers and let them know that they need get with it. Ditch “Bullet” and get the “Projectile” thing rolling.

The one thing all these boxes have in common, they all say “Bullet”. Strangest thing.

It’s almost as big of a brain twister as. I don’t shoot a bullet, I “Send” a bullet. Uuuuuh, OK? Always wondered what type of stamp do they use when “Sending” a bullet? Some tough adhesives there, to hang at those velocities.

I may have read into this wrong. You may be more interested in custom bullets, not the standard cup & core and or bonded type. I looked at all my “Hammer Bullet” boxes and my “Cutting Edge Bullet” boxes. I never found the word “Projectile”? If I were ever to sway to the “Projectile” way of terminology, it would be in reference to custom lathe turned bullets such as the prior mentioned.

And don't forget the Nosler Ballistic Tip 168gr projectile. At .308 velocities it is a pretty darn good performer on the game animals you mention👍

And don't worry about sensitivities of folks here..tough skin and they get over it👍
