Donnie, as mentioned above, the weight of deer that have been taken with standard Hornady, Sierra and Speer bullets would collapse a train trestle.

If you like Grand Slams, just try a box of regular HotCors in 150 or 165 grain, plainbase. Or the same flavors in Hornady or Sierra.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but you can concoct a helluva .308 hunting load by seating a Hornady #3031 bullet over a charge of IMR 3031 powder. Try 40.0 grains.
