I guess I should have stated " unless it was a Barnes" when j said j would nog hunt with a light bullet like a 125 in the 308.
But even then if it will not stabilize a 140-150 grain cup and core if may not be able to handle s Barned because of the length of the bullet
I would be getting the gun checked out personally , if a 308 will not shoot a 150 grain bullet there is something amiss .
