[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 1677019, member: 110341"] According to Federal's website, the smallest Gold Medal they make is 168, which is an issue in my particular 308, as the twist is 1:12. I've been told by reps at both Nosler and Barnes, that 150 is the heaviest they would recommend. I'd prefer not to shoot steel case ammo, like the Tula, as a friend who's been doing this for years told me the case does not usually expand as much as brass, causing carbon issues. My friend's uncle is getting out of hunting (age issues) and is selling all his reloading stuff, and about 200 rifles. I'm gonna go take a look, and see if it's worth picking up some of the items. There are two main reasons I wanted to find less expensive ammo. First, I've been away from shooting for 20 years, and need time in the seat, for practicing general shooting posture. Secondly, and I'm not sure if it's true or not, I wanted to put some more ammo through this new rifle, as I've heard accuracy increases with use, to a point. What that point is, I'm not sure, but right now I've only got 40 bullets through it. [/QUOTE]
