Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - .306 Bullet??
Posted: 1/21/2015 1:09:24 AM EDT
A guy at a local gun show gave me 250, .306 diameter bullets.  They weighed in at 150 gr each and have a steel, copper washed jacket.  What type of cartridge utilizes a .306 bullet?

I've read references that some 7.5 Swiss cartridges might have been .306, but all I've ever shot out of them is .308.

That sounds like Russian/Eastern block bullets.

 



Diameter for those are normally .310-.311.




Caliper reading correctly? Measure a 30 cal bullet and see if it's .308.

Measurements are correct.  Measured with a borrowed caliper at the show.  I measured them again with my caliper once I got home.
