BR-549 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey guys, I just started reloading, and so far have only been using sierra 168 gr HPBT. The rounds I shot before were either Federal GM 168 BTHP, or Lake City surplus in 7.62x51. Being a newbie at this, with less than 100 rounds through the press, I have a question. A friend gave me about a half a box of these 150 gr round nose bullets. Ive never shot any like it through my LR308. My friend had a bolt action, and he used them for game. My question is, would they be ok to fire through an auto loader, or should I just pay them forward to someone else?They have a low BC, they like to go slow, and the book says the OAL is only 2.52. Any of you ever use this kind of bullet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 They are a good short range bullet. less than 200 yds. If you just want them to go bang, and shoot paper at 100 yds,,,,they will do great!LOL!! Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
