projo question

[Cali_Ed]

I wanted to know what projos do you guys use when just making plinking/shtf ammo? Idk if I want to make everything out to be match or what do you guys advice?

Since my range max distance is 200 yards and my rifle is a short barrel,14.5, not really a long range package, never saw a need for a heavy bullet. Have had great results with 100gr Lapua HP, 110gr Sierra, 125gr Lapua FMJ, 135gr Sierra Match King. All work great and a lot less recoil. My fav is the 100gr Lapua.

Mostly BTHP.

The heavier ones go into my 300 AAC subs.

^ there we go those seem like inexpensive projos. Looking to buy bulk

This is what I use for plinkers, for both 308 and 300 BLK;

These are the kinds that need a crimp brother?

[392heminut]

I usually put a little crimp on mine with a Lee Factory Crimp die. I crimp for any magazine fed gun.

[TenRingKing]

That is what makes the 308 such a great round to load, 100gr to 200gr and they all preform.

[survivalshop]
