swampyMO, Funny you should ask. I picked up a few thou. of the IMI 150 gr. .308 bullets and have been loading them using surplus powder in my RL 650. Like you said, just for "tactical-blasting". They did very well on one of my favorite courses of fire. Targets of unknown size at almost unknown ranges. Range distances can be from 200 yds to 1 mile. Of course, we usually stay at ranges at 1000 or less yards. Targets can be a bit of wood or a cottonwood log. You can see where the use of inexpensive homebrews comes in handy here. The rifle and scope were set up for 168 gr. bullets moving at 2600 fps. but with the IMIs many a first round hit or "kept his head down" were made. Save some bucks and have fun!
