Same here.
I have been looking at those. With them being .310 instead of .308 is that causing any issues?

I have found that out of my 16" and 9" ar's that what is an accurate load for the Berry's bullet is also accurate for the Leatherhead.
The main difference for the Leatherhead is you have to make sure that your case has a decent chamfer so you don't shave the bullet.
Some people bell their cases but I've found that a using a Wilson 45 degree deburring tool will allow me to seat bullets without shaving.

So has anyone tried them yet ? They are $128 per 500 locally, which is quite a bit cheaper than any other bullet since the Amax is gone and its just the ELD now (Roughly $260 per 1000 vs about $360 per 1000 for the ELD 208, making them $100 cheaper per 1K).

I have 1000 Amax coming I found for a decent price, but once that dries up, id rather spend the least amount possible since I just shoot paper and steel with subs.

Nope. Most .308 bullets are .309 to .312. I am not comfortable even at .309 but have had to size some that small.

Guys I eventually did test this product and to keep it short I will not be buying anymore. Accuracy was awful no matter what powder primer combo I utilized. I did make a video for it just did not post it here did not want to waste everyone's time.

would they not hit 6" plates at 50,25 and 10 yards?
I was under the understanding these would be for practice rounds?
