Never heard of, or seen these before, suspect they are probably American but who knows, too heavy for me anyway..200g is not light!

I suspect a 200g Expanding .308 would stop quite a lot!!

Don't actually use the .308 that much but the ammo tends to be around the 150g mark, sometimes a little heavier, but I think the heaviest I have let go is probably 180g!

there was a bloke at my local dealers the other day when i went to pick up some ammo. we got chatting and he reloads for a .308 for range shooting.

 

he was there buying (i think) 190 grain tips and says they work great for him.

 

shows that some people use the heavier bullets but its probably easier when you're reloading

reloading gives alot more options than factory stuff you can tune the bullet and cartridge to the rifle 190 gn bthp match bullets bc .530 very accurate

Reloading opens up more options, but Target and Hunting are very different things!
