I looked around but only found ads, so here we are. With a .308 Proof stainless blank getting cut to 16” currently I was curious if anyone had a similar barrel that could shed light onto what ammo I should try. Planning to only hunt varmints and deer so I was thinking:
Hornady Eld-X
Federal Terminal Ascent
Barnes TTSX

what else should I get a box of to try?
 
I'll second above. Good barrels seem to shoot sub-minute with "good" ammunition in most cases. Sometimes they may hate a particular bullet, but that is less common.

My 20” Proof Carbon 308 shoots mostly Federal Fusion 150gr for those same uses. Best groups I’ve seen at 100 were .65moa which I am more than happy with for box ammo. I’ll try some 168’s and 178’s this offseason and settle on the best of the two for my elk hunt in the fall.
