Where I live in Nevada I have to go to Reno to buy reloading supplies, or order on-line.

The other day I went to the store and bought a box of Sierra 30 cal .308 dia 165 GR. HPBT Boat Tail 2140.

They only had 1 box, so another day I went to Sportsman's Warehouse to get another box of the same, however they were out of any 165 grain bullets.

The salesman told me that these bullets that I had purchased are illegal to hunt with, they are for military use.

I am now going here to the knowledge factory....what would you reccomend in a 165 grain for Elk Hunting in Colorado?

Thanks for all your help past & present.
