I am currently shooting a reloaded round using a 130 gr Speer jhp bullet, this is my self defense bullet, at 15 per 100 at a lgs (before the craziness) I figured why not, however I am curious what you guys would use and why, I can also get Speer 168 jhp match for 20 per 100 (before the craziness)

Input please

Before the ammo craziness it would be the MK319 hands down. Now? Whatever you can get.

Ya I could not get that bullet even before then, I do have some 130 jhp 300 blk out bullets that look like 319 bullets but never tested them and cannot now with powder shortages

I built this 12.5" sbr in summer of 2020. I bought 3k of tula .308 so I went with a slr adjustable gas block and tuned it to the low power load. Runs fine.

The barnes 130 ttsx would probably be my second choice next to mk319. Lehigh also has a bullet in the same weight class that seems decent.

I have a bunch of the Nosler 125gr I bought years ago for 300blk loading. I plan to try them out in my 10.5” and 12.5” .308 rifles eventually.

Since I reload, I found the cheapest powder (some Winchester pull down stuff) and pulled 147s fmjs.  Worked up a load and just been loading that.  Thankfully I did my 12.5 308 before this craziness happened so I originally got 16 lbs of powder, 2k bullets and already had plenty of primers (doesn't seem like it now).
