I'm looking for 150 grain 30 caliber Rem. BP bullets if anyone has any available,please email me.Does anyone on this forum use them and how have they performed?thanks

IIRC, they've been obsolete and discontinued for quite some time. Good for their time, but greatly outclassed today by the Nosler Ballistic Tip in the same weight.

Were they ever sold as a component ? I don't recall .

Rocky Raab

I think they were sold as a component at one time, but since I never bought any, I'm not positive.

They did, at one time, sell as a component. I did some experimenting with the 150's 20 years ago in .30/06's and never had much luck with them (3" groups). More recently, I ran across an old box of 180 gr. Rem. bronze point at a gun shop and loaded them with 57 gr. of IMR4831 in some '06 cases with a REM-UMC headstamp (going for the retro effect!). I shot them in a much-modified Rem. 1917 Enfield. Four 5-shot groups averaged and inch and a quarter. That's good enough for me! So I've reserved the rest of the box for that rifle.

I have 70 of these bullets. They are in three different sorts of component packaging.

Are you interested?

130 gr factory ammo.GREAT bullet for
elk.I have a few hundred bullets to
reload just need to figure out a starting
point.

seasonal product,currently

YEARS AGO used 180's on deer...did a fine job! I would think 150"s would be great for Antelope...and Deer too!
