Re: 308 win ammo options BUT no reloading
A 5-25 magnification is a very big scope for 150m maximum range.
Why not consider a 3-9×40 which would be better suited in my opinion, and lighter.
I am shooting 150gr PMP in my CZ 308, and have 150gr Barnes TTSX already for when I have a good supply of brass.
I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a kudu with the 150gr PMP, and in fact take a few Bulls per year with it.
But as mentioned, try get a heavier 180gr bullet that will group in your rifle as it will be a better choice for Bushveld conditions.
We have a 375 minimum calibre for Eland where I PH, but that is due to Once a Year Hunters wounding too many Eland. I have shot a Big Eland with the 308, but that was a premium 150gr bullet.
If the angle and shot placement is right, then the normal PMP bullet will work. But you need to prepare for when the angle and shot placement might not be 100%A roaring Lion kills no game
