Is there such thing as cheap .308 bullets?

[IM_Lugger]

I see Winchestrs can found for $32/100 (which seems a lot for a pistol shooter!)

Is there anything cheaper than that? what's the best buy what it comes to loading for .308Win? (cassual target only)

You could look at cast. The Bullet Barn lists some 30cal rifle bullets.

Good quality cast bullets, cast to you're/gun's specs, with gas check and a PROPER lubricant, including #'s 311041,311332,311284,314299, and saeco #315 are all capable of benchrest accuracy and are available from M.T. Chambers for around $15/100.

These are not machine cast, plain base bullets, bevel based, with "SHIPPING LUBE".

no not interested in cast...copper plated yes!

are frontiers any good? I only used their pistol bullets.

Higginson's has Hornaday bulk .308 150gr FMJ/BT's for $21.50 /100. Can't do much better than that IMHO.

We buy .308 Winchester Power Points, 150 and 180 gr, for less than $23/100 here in Whitehorse. Just got two more packages a few weeks ago. That is what I have been shooting in the Marlin XL7

What rifle are you using them in? I have some square tips that work decent enough for positional shooting out to 200m, but will not work in semis.
