Looking for .308 155gr bullets, fmj in bulk. Where is the best/cheapest source?
Also, CCI M34 primers - getting hard to find.
Please leave out any suggestions for big budget shooting supplies, I can't afford Henry's prices.

Are they about on par with Campro 147gr pills? I'd like to shoot out to 600 or so yards.

Price wise close, but campro are not exactly match grade (General Dynamics).
Hornady 150gr FMJ are great accuracy, check Higginsons, $600/2000 + shipping.
I've used the PRVI 168gr and they are very good for target shooting, I'm sure the 150's are decent enough.
 
Tradex as well, the 168gr PRVI shot as good as the Hornady 168gr I was using, bug hole groups. Wanted to try the 175's but too slow on the draw and they sold out.
150fmj will be fine to 800m, and the Hornady were always the most accurate 150's I've ever used.
 
Take a look at what Henry at Budget Shooters supply has too. Shipping from BC might be a deal breaker though.

Edit. My bad, didn't see you'd looked there already.

With the Campro 147's and the right load (CFE223) you can get them to shoot admirably to the distances you are talking about. They aren't Sierra Matchkings, but you also aren't paying that kind of money for them either.

Are these for a semi? I'm just starting into load development for the campro 147s, hornady 150s, and the hornady BTHP match 168s as some cheaper plinking options for my semi 308. The campros were terrible in my initial testing. Hoping to find a better powder combo to shrink down from 3 1/2" at 100, LOL.
 
I have not seen bulk 155 FMJ's, but Higginson has the Hornady bulk FMJ's (150gn I think) as well as bulk 155 BTHP. I couldn't get any of the cheap FMJ's to shoot well enough to justify the cost savings over the 155 BTHP, so I shoot the BTHP (which is actually quite good).

Jerry at Mystic Precision used to have great pricing on PRVI bulk 145 and 150 FMJ's. It's been a couple years, but he probably still has access to them.

Campro's 147 is the absolute cheapest I've seen, but reports have been pretty mixed. I read enough bad reviews that I didn't bother trying them.

Campro 147gr .308 bullets are FMJBT with an open base, exactly like military ball. Don't expect precision performance from these bullets. They are great for practicing your standing off-hand shooting though.
