I've been using Hornady 150SST jword bullets in my 16" Remmy 300blkout with a 1:7 twist with exceptional results. First 3 rounds will make a single hole before the 4th and 5th open up the group to just under .5MOA at 100yds. Given that the SST aren't designed to expand at the velocities I'm shooting them (1845fps) what CB would you gent recommend for hunting that'll give 1MOA or so results? I'm wanting to stay with 150g up to maybe 200g+ boolits. I have access to powders and primers of all flavors. I also have about 2k Hornady 30cal gas checks. Thanks in advance.

Lee 312-155 2R gets a universal thumbs up. Pretty much any of the Lee .30 gas check Molds perform well.

I personally like Reloder 7, but you'll get lots of answers in that burn range that work.

This one works really, really good: http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=30_329&products_id=1857

Have a look at the MP 312-159 mould with the HP pins, I have been casting and selling these for seven years
cast out of very soft lead they expand to .400" at 900fps, most people buy them for subsonic loads but they hold
together up to 1600fps, accuracy is good usually one hole 5 shot groups at 50 metres subsonic.
