First off, I have spent a metric S ton of money on guns & gun accessories this year and the wife is getting annoyed...thus I'm limited to the Lee mold line for now. With that out of the way, I'm looking for a Lee .308 mold for my AR10. I'd like to be able to hold at or a little over MOA, shooting generally 200-300 yards. I do have a powdercoating setup, so that will work in my favor pushing higher velocities. I do have the Lee 312 155 that I use for my 300 BO. I have yet to try it yet though. Looking at the choices, the 155 almost looks like the best candidate based upon BC. What do you say?

Only Lee 30 cal I have is same as yours. Works good out of remington 700 and light load of unique. Worked up a load using H4895 with some filler and Larry Gibson's advice, as long as I cull the bullets best I can they shoot great out of most of my 30 cals. Only rifle that doesn't like this bullet is my SKS.

I haven't had my 308 very long but it apparently really likes that Lee 160 gr gas check boolit at about 1600 fps.

Good to hear! With PCing, I should be able to launch them at decent velocities. I figured I'd cull them by weight and double size to ensure roundness.
