vld? Classic hunter? Other?

Not too picky because I’m just now getting around to trying out Berger bullets. Gun shoots 155 Scenar very well but my short barrel 308 doesn’t have the velocity for expansion at 600 yards. Primary purpose is to hunt so VLD or classic hunter

I’ve got a decent stash of JLK LBT 180s I probably won’t use. They use the same jacket as a Berger and are probably closest to the 180 elite hunter. Really short bearing surface so you should be able to push them faster than other 180s.

I have reloaded for 20 + years. I have never seen it this bad. It will likely take a year or so for things to get back to normal.

The general mentality of your average person has changed a lot in the last 20 years though....

Still sitting here on primers, powder and brass wondering where all the damn bullets are.

I should have built a 6 creed. Looks like 6mm stuff is easy picking right now

Anyone have intel on where someone could get some Berger 155 30 cal hunting bullets?

Gun show was ridiculous today. Bought a Capstick book and a Ruger MK II magazine. Wife got a surgical stapler and wound kit.

They can eat that ammo for all I care.

No shit, funny. Worst part is the guy looking for primers is scrambling to find some because he has 300 and just getting into reloading, using my equipment. I’m happy to give him a few if needed, but told him to still keep an eye out and look.
