Picked up a box of nosler competion 168 gr match to try in my 308,because sierra's around here are getting so high,(at gander mtn they were $34.99 a box of 100).First time I have shot these but think they are going to be good.Below is the first 3 I shot tuesday at 100 yds.

I would have to agree

! Good looking group and good shooting. I don't think you need to look any further. I've always had great success with Nosler bullets.

I've been shooting the Nosler J4/competition bulets for about 5 years now. Never had an accuracy problem with them at all, but I've had a box or two that had tunbling media/crud stuffed into the hollow points.
Talk about price hikes though. I refrained from buying any SMKs this year so far- .308 168s, 6.5mm 142s and even the 69 gr .224s are a little too rich for my blood lately.

i've had good luck with nosler's 155gr custom competition hpbt in my 3006 though for some reason....that gun seems to prefer a flat baseover a boattail.

Awhile back I got a pretty good deal on 500 sierra 155 pamela match,they shoot very well also,And I worked out some loads with the hornady a-max 155 and they shot as good as the sierra's with the right powders.
