M118LR ---COL Needed

[kwak]

Can someone please tell me what the COL is for a mil-spec M118LR bullet? And what weight and bullet type they are. Who makes the bullet and where can I buy them? Thanks

175SMK, Lake City, and should be about 2.70 or so. Can measure one when I finish eating breakfast.

Google says 2.810" If you are loading for your REPR I suggest 178 Amax over the 175 SMK

Scout, Thank You. I was going to try the Amax. Just getting started with the reloading process for this gun. Had some SMK in stock. One concern I have is the COL, the ones I have that are 2.80 just barely fit into that mag.

2.800 feeds just fine out of the P mag when used in the REPR

I measured a few of my 05 M118LR and they ranged from 2.813-2.818

A picture is worth a thousand words.
