F T/R Competition Ready to order some bullets any suggestions ?

[CSiebert]

I had Mac Tilton rebarrel my M595 action with a 12 twist Bartlien in .308. I had him cut the chamber with the Palma 95 reamer.

I am going to order a few different boxes of 155's and would like some opinions on the various offerings from Berger, Sierra and Lapua.

Thanks in advance
Corey

If you have a longer barrel (28+), 185 Berger BT or the 155 hybrid or 155.5 BT. If you have a shorter barrel, maybe the 175BT from Berger.

It's got 30 inch, I did a little searching around and settled on the 155.5 I ordered 500 of them.

With a 95 Palma chamber, you won't go wrong with the 155.5's. Throw them in a box with some Varget, cases of your choice and some Fed. 210M primers and shake vigorously... you'll get a good load out of it! LOL
