I'm curious on what AR you have in 308 and which ammo works best for it.

Thanks

American white tail 150gr. Don't cause much of a blood trail but each pig and deer I've killed has either dropped or ran off only a couple yards away

Hornady Black right now for supers.....

I have a bunch of expanding subs I run if I want to be quiet that Dallas Reloads made me. I rarely use them in the AR. Mostly just the bolt gun.

178 grain Hornady ELD-X, it really likes them.

I just bought Winchester "Deer Season" XP 150 grain. I've never used it

If I'm not handloading mine I use 168gr Federal Gold Medal Match. That stuff is easily the most accurate factory load I've used.

I shoot an 18" suppressed AR10.

I hunt with Hornady American Whitetail and the cheap Federal soft point stuff. I've used Win XP but have had too many pass through shots (no expansion) for my liking. So, I use it for pigs only.

My AR won't eat surplus ammo at all. For some reason, I get a lot of double feeds and FTFs. I know it's a gas issue but I'm not sophisticated enough to fix it.

Depending on what I'm doing I'll shoot cheap steel cases to match ammo in a wide variety of grains. All go bang without problems.
For the best accuracy, Federal Premium Gold Medal Match, 175gr Sierra Matchking BTHP. (GM308M2)

I bought some of those recently but haven't made it to the range lately. My AR10 has been finicky and not grouping like i want. Seems to prefer heavier grain

I was hoping to buy something in 180 grain but the options seem sorta slim. That's unless you want a soft point.

I bought 20 boxes of this stuff off of PSA when Federal was running a rebate. My Gen2 PSA AR10 eats it up.
