Best place for .308 bullet pulls/seconds

[Porter24]

Where is the best place to order as far as value for pulls/seconds for plinking or shooting steel.

I've gotten 175 SMK pulls from Graf's several times, I think it was $20 per 100.

also check RMR Bullets

I have ordered seconds from PV and Graf's. I found that the Graf's are much more consistent, on par with factory Sierra's, and I have not come across any different bullet weights mixed in. PV seconds are pretty good but about 5% are 168g or 190g bullets mixed in, so you need to pay close attention when loading.

+1 for Grafs good for banging steel and last time I bought some I weighed 20 random bullets and 3 weighed 176.

There's no point in pulling the trigger if the bullets are seconds. Use them for fire forming, or better yet, dry fire. Why waste money and barrel life on bullets that won't accurately represent whether or not you applied the fundamentals correctly.

I bought a bunch of seconds or pulls from top-brass, don't recommend them for target shooting.
Too much run-out.

I can personally vouch for this
I loaded up some PV's 168 seconds, and my groups were awful, I'm talking 1.3 moa awful at 100 yards, switched to factory 168 Sierras and boom, sub moa all day long

the factory seconds sitting in my storage will be used for random 308 plinking rounds for anything BUT my precision rig
