I have a DPMS Panther 308. I am going to be using this between 100 and 200 yards for hunting deer. The barrel is a 1/10 twist. Does anyone out there have one of these guns if so what round works well for you. Thanks in advance
Help me out I need to know what round to shoot

I do not hunt any more but Federal Gold 168 and 175 gr. ammo works fine.
You can roll your own and make them work any way you want.
I have an LR308 and I shoot quite a bit of DAG surplus through it and regularly hit the 300 and 200 yard gongs with it.
I have an EOTech sight on mine and am pretty sure the rifle would shoot better with a scope.

Come to think of it, I don't guess I've ever seen any 150-grain bullet that WON'T do just fine on Bambi.
Art,
Do you find some rifles that just do not like 150-155 gr. bullets?
My LR308 and M1A will shoot them but my R700P is all over the map with them.
I have not been able to beg, borrow or steal a good load for that rifle with 150-155 gr. bullets.
Any ideas?
With the 155 gr. BT I cannot even load one into the lands. I just start one in the case and chamber the round and it does not touch.
A flat base bullet might. I do not want to buy a bunch of them and find they do not work.

Wingnutt,
I guess I am not the only Winger here
I have DPMS LR308 AP4 and have had very good accuracy out of 150 gr. bullets,I am sure the heavier gr. bullets would work well also with a bit more recoil.
I really like my DPMS

My savage shoots the cheaper ammo just fine, by cheaper I mean silverbox winchester 150 gr pp. Sure I dont get one ragged hole but I do get .5-.7 inch groups at 100. Shot my doe this year at 250 yards and it was DRT.
Edit: I buy my shells at wally world. And as long as you can get 1-12 inch groups at 100 you should be able to hit deer.

Mo shooter .... You gun looks very similar to mine and thanks to everyone for the response..... What about inexpensive target ammo?
