Barnes 308 150gr TTSX potential
Seeing how many animals I actually shoot a year, even premiums are a small expense in the greater scheme of things with regards to the rest of the hunt. This bullet came up in my another thread, and was recommended to me by others who hunt as well.
How capable is it? Will I get sufficient penetration on kudu and blue wildebeest?
Can it punch through in awkward angles if the need for it?
Can it work in the bush?
How about longer shots and medium game.

Lorenzo...I see you have been very actice in your desire to find the right bullet for hunting with your 308.This is admirable.
The 308 with its 30 cal bullet at moderate speeds is one of the most forgiving calibers when it comes to bullet choice.
Please,i do not mean to sound pompous or facecious by this.....If you take the same time and effort as you are in finding the right bullet,and put that energy into practice at the range,practice placing the bullet where you want it and study shot placement as concerns the vitals of different animals,you will find that almost any hunting bullet will do the job.
