Went to local store where I can get all the 6.5 bullets I want. But in 308 there was nothing but 180 grain form several companies.

But reloading is getting ahead of myself. If I keep the rifle in 308, I will probably limit myself to 40 rounds per trip to the range. Got others to shoot too. Shooting with grandson demands almost full time attention.

Midway has Atomic Tactical Low Recoil Ammunition 308 Winchester 125 Grain Sierra Soft Point Box of 100 loaded to 2500 fps. The Remington 125 grns loaded to 2660.

If I reload would probably get the 135 grn SMK HPBT, starting loads with the powder I have is over 2750-2800 fps. That would still be a very accurate round perhaps good to 300 yards for deer. I just have a love affair with SMKs. Cheep and high ballistic coeffecients.
