    SWAP 168gr AMax for .308 round nose 165 or 180gr

    Just wondering if anyone has some round nose .308s sitting on the shelf that they would swap for 82 A-Max 168gr.

    Something like Sierra ProHunter RN 180gr.

    Thanks.

    Yes, will happily swap for those @MSL. Just had an offer on the A-Max though, still haggling, will let you know before I come over tomorrow.

    I don’t need the amax. These are surplus.

    Still available for swap or purchase fellas.

    I need a harder .308 bullet than the A-Max, for closer range shooting. Something in the 165-180gr range, round nose or HP is good, plastic tip if the bullet is fairly robust.

    Thanks
