Bennelli R-1 .308

[Keith Schaefer]

JUST BOUGHT A BENNELLI R-1 .308 LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TYPE OF SHELLS SHOOT THE BEST OUT OF IT. LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT KIND OF SHELLS AND WHAT WEIGHT TO START WITH. I WILL BE SHOOTING OUT 200 YARDS AT WHITETAILS.

Hi Keith,

I was recommended Federal Fusion 165 Gr by the sport shop where I purchased my R1 in .308 if that helps.

Cheers

Let me know if anyone is looking for .308 magazines I have two spares that have never been used I would consider selling if anyone needs one.

My .300wm and .30-06 prefer heavier bullets, lead ones like fusion, soft points, interbond, etc. in 165 or 180 grains. The copper and Hornady gmx, not as good in any weight. Federal blue box soft points shoot the best in every rifle I own (8 or so).
