I know most people here use SMK, Berger or Lapua bullets but I found a good deal on Speer 168's anyone have any load data for them in 308? Are they worth even using?

Use the same data for the other BTHP bullets. They should work fine.

Re: Speer 168's
I shot my way through a box of Speer 165 gr. SPs once and they did pretty well out of my .308 with 42.5-44 gr. of Reloder 15 in Lapua cases. I stopped using any SP bullets in favor of plastic-tipped ones but otherwise nothing wrong with 'em. That's obviously not a factor with the BTHPs. Try a box and if they shoot well, get more.
