IMR-4895, H-4895, or Varget would be good choices.

IMR canadian made.

Hey how many round you think i could get out of 1lb of IMR-4895?

 

[sunray]

Add IMR4064 to the list. Follow your manual religiously and you'll be fine.
You will find the .308 really likes 165 grain hunting bullets or 168 or 175 grain match bullets. Your 147 grain FMJ's are made to try and duplicate 7.62 NATO ammo. They'll do, but the 165's will shoot better.

147 cheapest bullets i could find every thing else is around a dollar a peice

 

[KK1]

hey there fmj bt, what does the bt stand for

 

[sillymike]

BT = Boat tail

Regular Bullet falt base bullet

Boat Tail bullet

 

[maynard]

bt means boat tail. You will find match bullets cost a bit more but shoot a hell of a lot tighter. If you are looking to duplicate the 7.62NATO round try some BLC(2).

Thanx. just trying to make a cheap round i wont go broke over. lets just hope they shoot alright.

Varget for 150 grain 308, you won't be disappointed.

Screw Varget

Reloder 15 makes the .308Win rock

winchester 147 grain fmj boat tailed 100 for 15$. should have mentioned this was for a semi automatic fire arm.

Don't forget 748

Don't overlook WW 748. Easy to meter, cheap if you buy it in 4 or 8 lb canisters and the accuracy in most .308's is quite good. Perhaps not as good as Varget or IMR 4895 but usually more than acceptable for practice shooting. 147 grm FMJ's aren't the most accurate bullet to begin with so I am assuming you just want to shoot it a lot.

Where did you get them by the way? Hard to find 147 gr. fmj's around here.
