[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2342251, member: 60453"] The Speer 200 grain .308 bullets are available on Midway right now, or they were yesterday. Correction: they are available as of about 30 seconds ago. You don't need a bonded bullet for the -06 and velocities below around 2850 fps. Speer HotCors act like a bonded bullet, though, because of their construction. The Sierra 200 grain Gameking isn't available right now, but it works great in the -06 and is of heavier construction than the 180 grain GK. The Speer 180 grain HotCor and Boat Tail bullets are also available, and worth trying out. The 200 grain bullet is $.44 a bullet, and the 180 grain bullets are $.32 and $.34 a bullet. That's the best price you'll see on the market unless you buy blemished bullets, which I have done with the Sierras and the Speers on occasion. I have found the blemished Speers and Sierras to shoot just as well as the others but they tend to cost about a third less, so I use them for load development and some varmint shooting. Try the Speer 200 grain HotCor. And at the price (about $10.00/hundred less than Sierra and maybe $20 less than Nosler) if they work, you're going to be able to shoot a lot more. [/QUOTE]
