any suggestion rounds for .308 for white tail deer.

Pretty much any will do the trick. I've used Barnes TSX bullets as my go-to hunting round for quite a while now, across the board. For .308, my SCAR likes 168gr, so that's what I use.

We have killed a ton of deer with Rem Core-Lokt. I have not tried them out of a semi auto. I have also been playing with Federal Fusion rounds the last couple of seasons and they do a nice job as well.

Deer are thin skinned so any good expanding .308 bullet will do the trick with a clean kill. I am partial to Hornady for deer hunting and their Whitetail line with the SP Interlock bullets are hard to beat.

Been using the ballistic silver tips for years. drops them dead if hit in the right spot.

Agreed, most any .308 will probably do the trick on a deer. I've used the Rem Core-Lokt as well and was very pleased. I picked up some Hornady Whitetails for the past season but didn't have a chance to put one down range so I don't have any firsthand knowledge on performance, but I have no doubt it is a solid round.

Find what groups best with your rifle. When I hunted with a .308 my rifle did great with Hornady Light Magnum 150 gr SST. It was the flattest shooting factory load I could find and in my sample of one it was plenty accurate and had great terminal performance.

[FJCowboy]

Good point, not all ammo is going to shoot the same with each rifle. Best to narrow it down to a few choices and then head to the range and see how it goes.

[jethroUSMC]

True. All of the bullet selections mentioned will work fine. If you're not reloading time to sample several different manufacturers loads to see what shoots best for your. Also knowing the general part of the country your in can help. Up North with bigger bodied deer I might go for a more stout bullet, where I'm at in the South even on larger, very well fed deer (267lbs on the hoof) I have zero issues reloading using a 155 AMAX.

So many options out there you could almost close your eyes and grab whats on the shelf. I'm shooting 165gr Nosler Accubonds right now. They group very well out of my LMT MWS and also a Rem 700 5R with a 20" barrel I have. I've also shot Hornady's 178gr ELD-X and they group very well also. The Hornady 150gr Whitetail is a great low cost round. Basically pick your flavor and see what your rifle likes and your budget like the most.
