    I used to love the 220 gr Hornady bullets until they stopped shipping them to Canadaicon. Can't get them here now.

    This one? 30 Cal .308 220 gr RN, Item #3090 | 100/Box.

    Like the old 215 grain bullet for the .303, a quintessential moose buster!

    Norma used to sell a 220gn .308" RNSP bullet; known for its impressive performance, even on "Texas heart-shots". They seem to currently only list a 200gn job, though.

    See Sierra for other options: .30 CALIBER/7.62MM 220 GR. RN Sierra Bullets
