I am using up the last of a 500 round lot of PPU .30 Carbine 110 FMJ . I will begin reloading carbine ammo again as soon as the factory ammo is used up.
I have not bought any bullets yet and I would like to buy what ever performs best.
Can anyone offer a suggestion as to which manufacturer has the best 110 FMJ for accuracy and function?
 
 Has anyone tried the Berry's 110gr copper plated bullet?

I don't know if there really is a "bad" .308 carbine projectile out there. We're not talking MOA accuracy here with the caliber-30. I remember running across something not long ago from a shooter that reported his Armscorp projectiles varied in diameter more than he cared. I have loaded quite a few Armscorp projectiles with no issues at all. I have also read a blurb concerning flaking on plated bullets I also know that lots of re-loaders shoot those also without issue. I have been shooting pulled projectiles from American Reloading. They sell demilled ammo left from contract cancellations or overruns. I've yet to find any damaged from extraction. I shoot a good many Hornady .308 Mauser bullets as well. I don't think you'll find enough difference to matter among anything.
