So, I have ~150 of the 168gr and 200 of the 208gr A-Max bullets on the shelf.

Not quite enough qty to spend time doing load workups for an ongoing project. But, enough that I don't want to just load with some mid-range recipe and make noise with.

I could run them through....

- 300BLK Handi Rifle
- 300BLK SBR
- .308 Ruger Scout bolt gun
- .308 AR-10 Semi-Auto
- .300 Savage Remington 760 pump action

I've heard mixed reviews on using these for hunting, so I'm leaning towards maybe sub-sonic 300BLK?

Anyway....what would YOU do with a limited Qty of a quality bullet that can't be replaced?
 
I wish that I could honestly say that I’d post them for sale, but I have similar quantities of several bullets and I just have them piled on the shelf waiting for a day when it makes sense to work up a load.
 
Can't help with the 208s the 168s will almost certainly shoot well to excellent over 44gr or Varget or RL15.

I've only taken an antelope with them, it was impressive at 320yds. No hesitation to use them on game smaller than mule deer in terrain where I am likely to be able to wait for an ideal shot. Wouldn't count on long penetration or punching thru heavy bone.
