Bullet choice

[Hillhunter]

I am going to get a new barrel for my 308 FTR gun , with the Bergers gone hard to get I am looking for a new bullet that will be easier to get my hands on . What are my best options in a 1/11 twist , I don't want to go to the heavies , would prefer to stay around the 155's /185's . Would appreciate comments from those people who have used the other brands

Bergers haven't been hard to get lately from what i've seen, with that being said i would get 185 juggernauts and start shooting if i were you, they are one of the easiest bullets to get shooting well and they hold really good vertical when the load is right......Lapua Scenars shoot very well also but the BC is lower than the Bergers......Another good bullet other than Bergers are the 180 JLKs and they have very high BC.

Your twist may be a little fast, but you should try the new Sierra 155 Palma...good luck, Gary

If you can get them the JLK 180 grains are very good, but I think I bought the last 2055 he had in stock.
