    Need some 308 FMJ projectiles - ideas?

    I know these aren't cast lead but looking for a source if anyone knows of one out there.

    where you getting yours from?

    I need once pulled or relatively inexpensive 308 FMJ 147 or 150gr projectiles

    WAS getting them from http://www.ammunitionstore.com/price...pplies.htm#223



    they are out of business.

    Ideas, suggestions, I would appreciate the help.

    Thank you.

    Those are steel jacketed bullets.

    If you don't mind tracers, Polygunbags has 145 grain with no pull marks for $45/K.

    Hitech often has pulled projectiles. Look in the surplus powder area for the
    sticky with the HiTech link.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    always like gibrass.com, but no projectiles of any diameter. *Check back daily*
    Like his optimism.

    so i went to the range today to try out some more of the Goldenwest brass 168 grn. SPBT bullets. target was shot at 100 yds. the left target are the Goldenwest brass bullets. the right target are Sierra 168 BTHP bullets. i was suprised at the performance of these bullets compared to the Sierra's. the Sierra group is tighter but not by much. the rifle used is a Savage 110FP in .308.
