Question About .308 Ammo

[Slavex]

don't freak out about the handloads dude. however going to your buddies places and helping him do the reloads is the way to go (you load the primers he does the rest ).
I've had no success with the Fusion stuff. my handloads are cheaper and more accurate. Hell even the stuff Jennis is talking about shot better (the Port. stuff).

Why are you on here asking questions if you don't listen to sound advice?
You were plainly told,

DON'T BUY HANDLOADS FROM FRIENDS, (OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL.)

You need to reread the thread.... My original question has nothing to do with reloads or OTC ammo, it has to do with bullet weight and what I should be looking for and what effects etc. I never once said I was buying reloads. The subject was brought up and I clearly state that I'd rather buy from the store because its easier for me to get, did you miss that part? Or did you read I MAY buy some and you just got all bent outta shape about that and stopped reading?

I bought some fusion 165 and federal 150s.... I think im going to just shoot commerical over the counter stuff in hopes the rifle will shoot the same all the time in stead of swapping all kinds of ammo. Is that a good idea?

I honestly wont shoot many gophers with my 700, I have a 17 hmr thats perfect for gophers but my friends shoot prairie dogs with 243s, 50bmgs, and 300s @ 500 to 800 yards which is what I'd be doing with my 700. The guys I go with have alot of families with farms so we go out there and spend the day blasting.
