Many other shooters and I often describe Black Hills Gold 168 grain TSX with phrases like “incredibly accurate,” “extremely consistent,” and “excellent terminal ballistics. Although this offering from Black Hills fires a heavier bullet than our first two selections, during my tests, it still maintained a high muzzle velocity and flat trajectory desired for long-range shots.

The Barnes TSX bullet is the heart of this Black Hills Gold factory load, providing unparalleled stopping power and accuracy. It stops whitetails, black bears, feral hogs, and any other four-legged varmint dead in their tracks because it utilizes a traditional hollow point bullet that offers exceptional penetration and expansion that’s needed when taking on big game animals. And the bullet is lead-free to boot, which means it’s legal for use in states like California and eliminates lead fouling. I know a lot of people talk about the price of the Black Hills Gold TSX, but when you consider you’re getting an average of 60 pounds of meat for $3.00 – and you don’t have to spend hours tracking an injured Cervidae – it’s more than worth it! So don’t hesitate to grab a box or two of Black Hills Gold 168 grain TSX.

Federal Premium 175 grain Terminal Ascent is the best all-around 308 ammo for big game hunting because it utilizes a heavier Terminal Ascent bullet. This round’s expertly designed polymer-tipped bullet feeds well into most rifles. The nickel-plated brass makes for smooth chambering, and the bonded lead core helps the projectile retain its weight following impact with elk, caribou, bear and deer. Federal designed the Terminal Ascent with its patented Slipstream polymer tip to give the bullet a flatter trajectory and lower-velocity expansion.

Buy Hornady ammo to get bullets that are accurate, consistent, and always dependable.

Features of Hornady Precision Hunter .308 Winchester 178 Grain Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding Centerfire Rifle Ammunition:
Best-In-Class BCs: Verified by Doppler radar, the Heat Shield tip defies the effects of aerodynamic heating and retains its shape to maintain the highest-in–class BC over its entire trajectory.
Match Accurate Hunting Bullet: Streamlined secant ogive with optimum boattail design + highly concentric AMP bullet jackets + Heat Shield tip combine for radically superior aerodynamic efficiency.
Devastating Conventional Range Performance: With high velocity, 0–400 yard impact, the bullet continually expands throughout its penetration path. The thick shank of the jacket and high InterLock ring keep the core and jacket together providing 50–60% weight retention.
Best Extended Range Terminal Performance Available: Upon low velocity, 400+ yard impacts, the Heat Shield tip drives backward into the bullet to initiate expansion. Exhibiting controlled expansion with a large mushroom and 85–90% retained weight, the bullet provides deep penetration and large cavities. Available as component bullets or in factory loaded Precision Hunter ammunition.
