    I'm shooting a 135gr FNBT from a NOE mold that is accurate out of my DAQ Outlaw 308, also the Lyman 311359 GC 118gr shoots well.

    Slug your barrel first, you might save some cash by getting something that might not fit your weapon. It's a start without spending any money.

    The chamber on the Texan is very short, machined for pellets, not slugs, which is rather silly, considering the .308 is a slug shooter.... I designed some slugs for Texans for NOE, with a smaller (0.302") nose, yet full size (0.309") driving band, so that they would chamber properly.... Unfortunately, they never reached production, in any of the Texan calibers.... The .308 cal was 124 gr, or 117 gr. as a HP....
