I finally got the new rifle. The Browning Hells Canyon Long Range Fiber Fusion with 26" barrle and 2" muzzle break. I got it in the 308. I have gotting mine sighted in but would like any reviews possible. What has best ammo and grain bullet that has performed best.
Thanks in advance.

Every rifle is different. Do you reload?

I have a single shot 308 that shoots the Hornady 150 SST excellent. Groups very well

Generally speaking the federal gold medal match in 168, 175 grain is pretty much the gold standard in 308. Most 308’s will generally shoot with of those well. The M118 long range is Winchesters version of the federal, it also shoots universally well.
I’d try Norma, or Winchester silver tips if you can find them. The GMM and the M118lr is available in several places.
If you hand load around 44 grains of Varget or RL15 and a 175 smk is pretty much a universal excellent shooting load in the 308.
No experience with your exact rifle, but I have loaded for and shot almost every other brand and custom rifles in 308.
It’s hard to find a 308 that doesn’t shoot pretty well from the start.
