Long Ogive 308 bullets?

[EubeenHadd]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a high-BC bullet for 308 that'll feed from a long action magazine. I'm not limited on COAL due to the mag length, but I know the chamber has a short throat, so I'm looking for something with a real long and slender ogive, so I can get as much powder capacity as possible within the confines of standard 308. My first thought was the berger 215gr pills, but I'm not sure if there's something better out there. Does anybody have experience in this realm who would be willing to share it?

With the bigger bullets speed might not be enough to surpass standard bullets.
I’d just get you chamber throated to suit your needs.
I’ve seen a long throat 308 with 175 & 185’s do really really well.

I'm not necessarily looking to pass up standard bullets, just have a less "lobby" trajectory with heavies. I'd also like it to eat standard loads as normal so it's not stuck being a handload-only rifle.

Short throat, Mag length. Berger 155.5 will max your boiler room

This got me thinking, googling, and conniving, and I think I've found my answer. Warmer Tool's flat lines are exactly what I was envisioning, so I might try and put a good 180 or 155 WTF load together. Thank you!

Lowlight did a video of the flat lines in 308 you might be interested in.
