    Thanks buddy!!
    For non game shooting, and in a jacketed bullet, the 208gr Hornady we have on sale are about the cheapest out there without getting a 1000 bulk pack.

    Cast we don't do because of the very limited requests, and lack of a decent distributor

    Be careful shooting cast through your suppressor and ar. They are prone to letting lead buildup in the gas port and getting shavings in your suppressor over time

    What about powder coated cast bullets?

    See if Wes has any .308" "pulls". The 147's and others will shoot well for your purposes.
    With can,I would not go 220-250. No need to IMO.
    You can quite easily make 150gr - 208gr into sub loads with several different powders.
    Also . . . I would agree with the above . . . jacketed bullets only . . . not even powder (or other) coated. --- SAWMAN

    I've had good luck with Accurate 1680. According to my chronograph 1680 has a smaller standard deviation than lil gun and win296. Also holds a slightly tighter group at 50 yards. My go to load is 11 grains of 1680 in converted Lake City brass with 225gr Hornady BTHP, OAL 2.250. Average speed of 1058 fps through my 16" Ruger American Ranch. Also cycles through my 7.5" AR with slower speeds. I'm sure a lighter bullet is more sensible, but the 225gr. makes a nice thump...
