What bullets are you guys using for cheap .300 subs? I can't seem to find anything like really cheap FMJ. Im not going to start casting right now either.
These are my go to projectiles for subsonic .300AAC (Formerly Leatherhead Bullets)

Got some of these just the other day.
Took about 3 weeks to get here.
When they did arrive I got a mixed box of their boat tails and 225 flat base.
Quality.....
The boat tails that I got were pretty consistent, no voids and all pretty straight.
The 225’s were crap.
Voids in the sides, some even had the noses bent/ bullets not even straight.
None of the bases are flat, stand them on the bench and they all lean to the side.
I got them because I ran out of the leatherheads, saw they were bought out/merged. But it’s not the same product control.
What are you guys looking at cost per round for bullet + powder + primer?
I'm trying to price out the cost per round for subsonic 300 blk. I'll be using converted 556 brass and probably H110. Obviously the bullet will dominate cost.
I don't waste time figuring out cost-per-round prices. It takes too much time, driving up cost...
I've also got 1000 or so Nosler ballistic tip 220s that I couldn't get to fly stable. Maybe I'll play with them again this summer.
You too? I've got some Nosler RDF 210's that are all over the map as subs too. I used to use Sierra 220RN and those things were lights out even down to 900fps.
