    Default Looking fo budget 308 bullets

    So, a while ago I purchased a bunch of 150 gr 308 bullets from Xtreme bullets.

    http://www.xtremebullets.com/308-150...50fp-b0500.htm

    Great deal, about 10c x bullet, 500 for $51!!!

    Unfortunately, as I later found out, they are meant for 30-30, and at 308 velocities shred the thin jacket and are pathetically inaccurate.

    My M1A shoots<than 1 MOA with Sierra Matchking 175 gr, so it is neither the rifle nor the shooter.

    The Xtreme bullets will maybe hold 5-6 MOA even cutting down the powder charge to the minimum listed, 40gr of IMR 2831.
    Needles to say, being the rifle a semi, it needs to be able to cycle the action, so I can only go down in charge so much.

    Of course, I know we are comparing potatoes to apples, but could anybody suggest a bullet source that will hold within 2MOA without doubling my $ per bullet?
