I have .309 165 grain bullets and some round ball in .312 at 46 grains, that I had them swage down when I ordered them. (actually measures .310). I load both with Trail Boss. Both shoot great out of my 308. Thr round balls make a great short range grouse and plinking load, so I don't have to carry a 22 when I am big game hunting. Using 5.9 grains of TB they are doing 1575 fps and at $28 for 500 it is real cheap shooting. You can easily take the heads off grouse to 50 yards. The 165 grain bullets, using 7.8 grains of TB are doing 1126 fps, and make good plinking rounds to 200 yards.
