    Bulk .308 plated?

    Who has the best pricing/SH on bulk (1000) for .308 150gr (or 168) FMJ BT?

    Powder Valley has Berry's, but they are RS.

    Rifle bullets dont come in plated. What is RS?

    Wideners or pulled bullets from hi-tech.

      Did you try ordering from Berry's?

      The 150gr .308 they make is designed for a .30-30. Also, you have to keep velocities below 1700fps.
      Some guys like their powder like their women, hot, cheap, dirty, that would be TiteGroup. -CocoBolo

        Xtreme makes them for cheaper, not sure what you expect to do with them since they only handle about 1500 fps or so. You could probably get away with some really light .30-30 loads if you were so inclined

          Pulled bullets are the cheapest "real" 308's you will find. Plated wont work, you will blow your gun up.

                Plated rifle bullets work, you just have to work within their limitations.. which means under 1800 fps give or take..

                  And in a gas gun with a set lb recoil spring will that reduced load cycle your action? I bet not.
