JMHO but that would be an excellent round for hunting. The question is, what ammo does your rifle, along with your skill set work best? Finding the perfect round, that you can put on target, consistently, with your rifle, will be what you need to use. My Ruger American 308, seems to shoot 150-165 grain bullets better than heavier rounds, but only slightly. I would be very comfortable with the Sierra match king, on any deer hunting trip, where I would be shooting 200 yards or less.
You will just have to try different rounds, at varying distances, to see what will work best for you.
