Thank ye sir.

Hornady makes a 150 gr. .323 FMJ that will serve you nicely.

I have never seen those . Are they so new they are not on the website ? Or decades old ?

[Eddie1971]

They have been around for a while. I use those and the Speer 150 grain heads.

There are no .323 150 grain FMJ bullets listed by Midway. Nada. Soft points-yes. I had never seen or heard of a 150 grain FMJ .323 bullet. I think (if my memory is correct) that the German loaded 154 grain FMJ as service ammo at one time. james

Hornady likely stopped production of it like they did with so many other bullets during the covid panic.

Honest mistake by poster, let's move on.

I'm shooting 175 gas checked and PC'd to 180 grains with the last of my Trail Boss and plethora of Buffalo Rifle. Nice soft and accurate loads.

I've been reloading the 8x57 for 54 years and have never seen nor heard of a Hornady 150 gr FMJ either.........

So somewhere I read that Winchester just used it 32 special bullet at .321-.322 170 gr. for 8mm Mauser ammo. Can you find those?

I've never seen Winchester .321" reloading bullets available online. Speer and Hornady are probably the most common available. Other makers like Hawk and Hammer also make them.

I have a couple pf boxes the Winchester .321 Win Spl silvertip bullets for reloading , but they are very old . They work very well in the Gew-88 rifles with their .3208 groove barrels . Just ok in the Gew / K 98 rifles , you need to have a tight bore .

I bought a NOE push through die set with .322" die and post. .323" sized down to .322" is effortless using Imperial die wax.
Sierra and Speer I used it on were pretty decent in the Gew 88 w/.322x grooves. Bulgarian Mil Surp pulls were no worse after sizing down, but they're not very good unmolested in my K98s, G43, and Husqvarna 640 either.

I like the 195 grain Hornady, the last range trip got near 2500 fps. this load will do anything the 30-06 can do.
If I run into some of the wimpy Winchester, Federal stuff, I pull the bullets and reload them to make'em roar.
