At the risk of what may come, I'd ask your preference for .308 combat loads.
If you were going into combat carrying a .308 rifle and had your selection of any premium brand commercially available ammo, what would you select. Price is NOT a factor.
Consider that you'll never be sure what you engage, when or where - so one minute you may need penetration, next shot may be on soft flesh with no barriers at close range. One hour you may be walking a suburban street with up to 300 yards line of sight, the next you find yourself engaging in a stand of woods in that same community at much shorter ranges.
Remember, the objective is to drop the target, right now.
My tendency (in all calibers) had always been for the heaviest hollow point with the biggest powder charge - until I had the honor of chatting with the legend Lee Jurras in email a few times.
Yes, I know placement is the most critical factor.
Barrel is 18.5 inches.
Anyone have an all-around favorite?
