Preferred hunting ammo?

It was recently pointed out to me that I’m not supposed to be hunting with what I’m using. (Fgmm 168 bthp). It’s the only thing I’ve ever shot through my hunting rifle (5R rem 700 .308) and it loves them. (They certainly do the job, although I’ve had to track a few). Deer, Hogs, and a nice Ram so far.

I’ve read these rifles like the 168-175 grain range, but had noticed some 200+ grain hunting rounds at Cabelas last year and they’re the first things I thought of when my faux-pas was pointed out.
I have used the Federal Fusion 168 gr. in my .308 for years, and they work beautifully. If I do my part it does the rest. I also have good results from a reload using the Sierra game Kings at about 2,650-2,700 fps. My rifle (Browning BLR) really likes that bullet.
