I would go with the winchester ballistic silver tip. In 168 grain.

I think you are right about this bullet. Much better as a deer hunting round.
Accurate as the SMK, (boat tail, great bullet)

Not to pick nits, but [u]nothing[/u] will match the accuracy of the Sierra BTHP.
Now, as a hunting round, the extra couple of millimeters of accuracy would not be a real issue. But, having loaded many, many different .308 bullets, I can assure you that nothing is in the same league as a Sierra bullet as far as accuracy is concerned.
I even bought some Hornady A-Max bullets because I had read good reports about them. Man! Those bullets [b]look[/b] like they ought to be the most accurate bullet in the world.
But after shooting several hundred, I was forced to admit...I'll never get them to shoot into as small groups as Sierras.
Did the same with Noslers. Great looking bullets. And, like the Hornadys, they shoot great. But they can't shoot like Sierras.
And, no, I don't work for Sierra. [:D]
