[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 1674482, member: 110341"] Before the recent California ammo laws went into effect, I bought about 200 rnds of Barnes cartridges. But, even on sale, they were about $2 per round. I would like to find a less expensive round for general practicing. The ammo I bought was all copper, as that's what is required in CA for hunting. But, I can use lead for non-hunting applications. Is the general thought process supposed to be to try and find a less expensive round that has a similar BC, because that would still leave big variables in powder quantity/rate etc? Or, can someone make an educated guess/recommendation? The hunting load I bought was Barnes 150gn TTSX. The rifle is a Win Model 70 SuperGrade in .308, with a 1:12 twist. I do not reload my own stuff (yet). Any recommendations? [/QUOTE]
