Actually, the Garand was one of my first thoughts, as the closed tip will resemble FMJ for historical correctness. Rest assured, I will be testing in one of those as well as in the .308.

...wonder what Sierra is thinking. 1,000 yards
out of a .308 is better done with a 175.
Best I've seen was 250 grain HPMK's leaving 2150 fps from a 1:8 twist barrel.Midway at least has some. Just about everything else they sell is listed as out of stock, no back order.
However, as mentioned, 1 grain won't make any difference. Kind of makes you wonder what Sierra is thinking.

Those look like some good groups. Hopefully I can get them shooting good in my rifle!Go down bottom page 5 see how they shoot.

Thanks, it be appreciatedSo I got the bullets in. I would not classify these as closed nose or similar to FMJ, definitely OTM. But I'm not complaining.
