Many other shooters and 308 caliber ballistics I often describe Black Hills Gold 168 grain TSX with phrases like "incredibly accurate," "extremely consistent," and "excellent terminal ballistics. Although this offering from Black Hills fires a heavier bullet than our first two selections, during my tests, it still maintained a high muzzle velocity and flat trajectory desired for long-range shots.

The Barnes TSX bullet is the heart of this Black Hills Gold factory load, providing unparalleled stopping power and accuracy. It stops whitetails, black bears, feral hogs, and any other four-legged varmint dead in their tracks because it utilizes a traditional hollow point bullet that offers exceptional penetration and expansion that's needed when taking on big game animals. And the bullet is lead-free to boot, which means it's legal for use in states like California and eliminates lead fouling. I know a lot of people talk about the price of the Black Hills Gold TSX, but when you consider you’re getting an average of 60 pounds of meat for $3.00 – and you don’t have to spend hours tracking an injured Cervidae – it’s more than worth it! So don’t hesitate to grab a box or two of Black Hills Gold 168 grain TSX.

Federal Premium 175 grain Terminal Ascent is the best all-around 308 caliber ammo for big game hunting because it utilizes a heavier Terminal Ascent bullet. This round’s expertly designed polymer-tipped bullet feeds well into most rifles. The nickel-plated brass makes for smooth chambering, and the bonded lead core helps the projectile retain its weight following impact with elk, caribou, bear and deer. Federal designed the Terminal Ascent with its patented Slipstream polymer tip to give the bullet a flatter trajectory and lower-velocity expansion.

This Federal Premium hunting ammo is one deer hunting round that you don’t want to miss, especially when you plan to hunt other big game species, even though it's a little pricey. But as Federal says on their website regarding Terminal Ascent, "Any hunt. Any range." That is performance most hunters are willing to shuck out a few extra bucks for!

When selecting ammunition for deer hunting, bullet weight plays a crucial role in terminal performance, trajectory, and effectiveness at various ranges. Each grain weight offers distinct advantages depending on your hunting style, shot distances, and rifle setup. For comprehensive guidance on optimizing your ammunition selection based on these factors, see our detailed guide to the best 308 caliber grain for long range hunting and target shooting applications.

If you want to get maximum distance out of your hunting ammo, look no further than Hornady Precision Hunter 178 grain ELD-X. It’s incredibly accurate at long ranges, made by a reputable company, and offers excellent ballistics.

The Hornady ELD-X is one of the top long-range hunting bullets on the market, competing with long-time standbys like the AccuBond Long Range or Berger VLD. It integrates many of the same qualities as the SST, which was my #2 pick. It utilizes the InterLock system to keep the lead core and jacket of the bullet intact during expansion, as well as a smooth, sleek design with a high ballistic coefficient for long-range accuracy.

I’ve always found Hornady ammo to be reliable and accurate, no matter the 308 caliber I’m shooting. Although Hornady Precision Hunter ammo is extremely accurate and effective against large game animals, it also carries a price tag to match that performance. However, as most hunters aren't spending the weekend plinking with their hunting rifles, we only need a few boxes of ammo per year. That price tag is well worth the added performance Hornady Precision Hunter 178 grain ELD-X offers, in my opinion.
