Go to Sierra Match Kings... any of the reloading supply centers should have them.... ie... MidwayUSA...etc...

Re: 308 175gr bullet for reloading.

I have used SMK 175s with great success. I just bought 250ct of the Nosler 175s which were cheaper. I just got them two days ago and i compared the bullets side by side and they look pretty identical to me. The only difference i see is that the opening of the tip of the Nosler is lightly larger than the SMK. But everything else has the same dimensions by my caliper. I am loading some up tonight and taking out for testing this weekend but from some other reports on this side most people have had same POI with the Noslers and at least as accurate and some report even tighter groups with the Noslers for a lower price. SO if they pan out it will be awesome.

Re: 308 175gr bullet for reloading.

+1 for 175SMKs ... very popular at all matches for .308 shooters. And you can buy them in 500count boxes.

Another vote 175 SMK's do what I need them to do.

Re: 308 175gr bullet for reloading.

178 AMAX pushed by Varget but when the 178 HPBT comes out I will be trying those. With the .530 BC it should work well.
