I recently received some .30 cal FMJ military pull down bullets. These are pretty nice, the mil-guys even thought enough to give them a two tone black tip and copper finish
Anywho, I'll likely never shoot them, but I HAVE to load them. I've made it a point to pick up EVERY reloadable .308 case and load it, for years now. I don't even shoot jacketed bullets in 308 anymore, but I have been stuffing a 150g FMJ into any case I find with a starting charge of AA 2520. It's one of those irrational things you do that you accept and never try to rationalize in the first place.
My question: These purty little black tipped fellers; Should you try to throw them a little harder? With no intended rifle, I'm not inclined to go max load. Just curious if they will do their duty at the lower end of the load or should I go a grain or two below max and pick up the pace?
