My favorite go to place for all bullets is Powder Valley. Their prices are about as good as you can get without a sale. And they will ship USPS Flat Rate so you can order 100 or 1,000 the shipping price is the same up to 60 pounds.

Thanks for all of the advice.  I couldn't find any Sierra MatchKings for less than about $0.30 a piece, even if i bought in bulk.

I ended up going with the 168 Z-Max because I found a bunch for just over $0.20 a piece.  They were roughly the same price as the Nosler HPBT Custom Competition and slightly cheaper than the A-Max.

I figure that the Noslers will always be around that price and readily available whereas the Z-Max is a limited production run.

I'll report back later when I'm done with testing.  I'll be using IMR 8208 XBR.

In the mean time, check these videos I found.

Good choice of powder.  I was using XBR when everyone else was saying it's 'too fast' a powder for .308.  Just be careful with pressure and I am sure it'll work great! 

Keep us informed.   :thumbsup:

Most high power competitors buy their bullet heads from okweber.com.
location is in Oregon. They use the USPS standard shipping boxes to save on shipping costs.
J u st keep order below shipping weight maximums.
