Any recommendations on best loads for this Panther Arms product with 16 inch heavy bbl? I've heard Ultramax 165 gr, Federal 168 gr, and Remington Core-lokt 165 gr. produce good groups. Just got it scoped and headed to the range ASAP. Thanks!!

  I used 180 both 150 and 180 gr in mine and it liked the 180 better.

  110 grain hollow points to Bring your velocity back up to 2,600-2,800fps. You'll loose some accuracy but the positives are big.
  
  Reserve the heavies for shooting through barriers and precise shot placement on big game.
  
  
  You get hamstrung with 16" .308 carbines, the velocity is down to like 2,300-2,400FPS.
