Range Report POF-308 and Noveske N6---shells for both

[okiehuntnfish]

I just got a POF-308 and am getting a Noveske
N-6 as soon as they begin production again and an LWRC 308 repr soon after that.
If you shoot both POF and Noveske or even all three, I have one question. In your opinion, what shells shoot best from all these rifles? If there are any. They will be used for hunting deer and hogs up to 200 yrds.
I have hunted with Remington 150gr Core-Lokt shells for 30+ years with very acceptable results, in a 30.06. I would like to stick with what works for me aka Remington 150gr Core-Lokt, but I am new to this chambering and these three different rifles.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

I am asking this same question in the Rifle forum.

I have the Noveske 12.5" Leonidas and shoot a little of everything. Noveske sells Black Hills on there site designed for the N6 line. Good luck on the wait time for Noveske. I ordered mine in November of 2008, got lucky to get one the last few. Dealer got it in April 2009. I had it in my hands in October 2009. This was my first AR rifle and can tell you that Noveske is class all around. Well wotht he wait. I'm gonna get a 18" upper as soon as possible. The 12.5 is fun but I would love to have a reason to spend some money on a nice optic.

I'd try some ammo with less exposed lead tips, the feeding cycle is pretty violent.

Fusion and feeds well in my brothers M1A but Rem does not. Anything with a plastic tip should feed well.

Soft nose ammo wont go into full battery. Shoot Amax hornady match ammo of match ammo hp.

I shot a few hundred soft nose federal .308 rounds through the POF over the past couple weeks. It was all I could get my hands on in the short term. The gun shoots great but the clip/mag SUCKS. The shells overlap eachother and cause jamming. It's almost like the clip was made for several different rounds and they put a .308 on the end to sell it. I don't remember the name and I don't have the clip with me right now. Any suggestions on a good clip for a POF-308?
