Bullet Choices. Recommendation for my M14s

[KK1]

I'm about to start reloading some .308's for my M14s.
I'm looking for some 150gr - 155gr bullets. Is there a bullet you guys would recommend that is good quality and inexpensive.

What do you guys use?

I would go with the Winchester 147gr FMJ but read they are crap-tacular

Hornadys are always a good bet, and they generally tend to be a bit cheaper than the other major brands.

Any have experience with the Hornady 150fr FMJ-BT

I've had pretty good luck lately with the Nosler Palma 155 HPBTs altough not exactly cheap.

They are a fine bullet for the M1A. I use them with BL-C2 in my Norstinko. I've also used them at the shorter range events at precision matches in my 700 , using Varget. My only complaint with them is , someone should tell them to put the cannelure in the proper place.

Nosler Competition J-4s in 155 and 168 gr. can be had for fairly cheap.

It is about all I use in my 30 cals. Inexpensive when bought in bulk. I go through two 500 packs a year.

Can these be shot at the range or is that ball?

 

[SKScanuck]

And I should say I use them in 30:06, 7.5 swiss, 7.5 MAS, 308 and 7.62 NATO (low pressure 308).

 

[SKScanuck]

No problems with FMJ at the range I shoot at.

"...put the cannelure..." Ignore it.
Any good 150 grain bullet will do for shooting for fun, but the .308 loves 165 grain hunting bullets and 168 or 175 grain match bullets. IMR4064 or Varget and regular large rifle primers.
