Experiences with cheaper .308 projectiles

Hoping to find a cheaper bullet around 150gr to buy and load in bulk to shoot out of a gasser with a nice barrel. For just banging steel. I am looking at the Hornady 150gr FMJ BT and BTHP. May try some load dev with some ball style bullets around 147gr. Anyone try fine tuning a blaster bullet like this?
 
The Hornady FMJ-BT shoots surprisingly well in certain rifles. IE not 0.75 MOA well, but many times 1.25-1.5 MOA, which is pretty darn good for a cheap bullet and light years ahead of the 147 gr NATO projectiles.
