Do they make 220 grain bullets for a 308?
YES. Barnes, Nosler and a host of others make 200 and 220 grain bullets for use in reloading the .308 Win. However the largest factory load available (that I have found) is Lapua 185grain mega and naturalis. 180grain is widely available though (Federal, Remington etc.) and will happily take everything in North America, if you put the bullet in the right place. You'll be pushing it though with the brown and Polar bears.
Which is larger 300 win mag or 308?
The . 300 Winchester Magnum is a larger cartridge. They both use the same diameter bullet.
