That’s some fine shooting there! I love my 12.5” 308 it’s light and handy in bear country wear it Rhodesia sling style three point across the chest hands free hanging. 220 gr woodleigh steel jacket round nose at just under 1800 fps will penetrate and exist a bruin from any angle and stem to stern face on. I also have a 16” 308 upper that was my stand gun until that little 6.5 grendal stole my heart. Most Texas deer are sub 200lbs and the 6.5 140gr8 knocks flat right where they stand usually if I neck shootem. I always aim for the high neck shot break the spine they drop like a sack of taters.
I don’t get bout in the woods much anymore. I’m lucky to get to the rifle range. I have a DPMS Gen II Recon with a 16” barrel that shoots remarkably well, especially after I switched out the trigger group and installed an AGB. It was most accurate with 168 grain AMAXs (subMOA) but they were so slow-like less than 2,000 fps IIRC. I was disgusted with that velocity and having some 6.5 envy so I started working up a load with 125 grain Nosler Ballistic tips. I got them up to 3,000 fps with a below max charge of Ramshot tac. I wish they were a little more frangible but they have a better ballistic coefficient than any of the varminter projectiles so they’re the projectile I went with. 3,000 fps with a 125 grain projectile from a 16 barrel. Not too shabby in my opinion. They aren’t quite as accurate as the 168 grain AMAX (about 1-1.25 MOA) but I have room to work up to the next accuracy node.
