    Bulk Belmont 150gr .308

    I know every rifle will shoot them differently, but what's the overall feel for their 150gr .308? It's a very good price, and looks good, any major issues with it??

    My range report. They have changed from hornady to serria projectiles since this. Went from Sub MOA to between 1-1.5. Velocity about the same. A friends rifle shot it just the same. I now use the PMC they have as it groups better for me. I do a little bit of field shooting and havnt worked up a load yet so 3/4moa is better than 1-1.5
    For my hunting inside 250m it probably is not going to make any difference and the projectiles all perform well.

    Cheers @Nugget connaisseur . Maybe I'll try out 20 of each before buying the bulk. The PMC is similar money, so will be interesting to see what performs best

    If you are a brass scavenger and are thinking I might reload some later, the pmc is the one to go for the bulk is reloaded military brass and I amongst others have had case separations when resizing.
    At the price it's really not worth contemplating reloading unless you need heavier projectiles.

    All the belmont loaded ammo i have used is PMC 308 brass, is that mil-surplus? but i have only done one lot of reloads on that brass.

    PMC military brass has a PSD and date head stamp.

    The only difference i can tell between the PMC and Belmont ammo is PMC primer is copper colored like Winchester used to be. Belmont loaded stuff is regular plain primers.

    I've used that load for years- never had a problem. Very consistent performance.
