Hey guys, got a Rock River AR - http://rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=402
It may be years before I blast a deer with it or I may go to Kansas on a rifle hunt at some point. got the .308 Nikon scope. I really like this set-up even though I've never even fired it.
I read some good things about Federal Premium's with the Ballistic Tips. I can't even find any in stock though!!! No where thus far. Should I hold out for something like that for bullets? 165 or 168 grain or whatever or should I do a different grain tip?
What my goal is: I want a super accurate, tight group, flat shooting that will explode deer I could care less about: high costs as I am not shooting all the time & wasted meat as I'm fine with buying an extra couple pounds of burger at the store to make up for a blown up critter that won't be wounded. What do you suggest? Are there rounds that fire better outta this gun if anyone has shot it or am I pretty safe with any load? for example, my shotgun would not shoot Hornady slugs worth a piss - are rifles the same way? Any help appreciated!
