First issue is that bullet is NOT designed to be fired in 308 Win chamber. It is specifically designed to be fired in 30-30 Winchester lever action guns. The bullet ogive is not designed for the 308Win.
The bullet was actually for a marlin- express. And i do think i was light on the charge is what created the dents. Factory loads have not done it.
I did have Marlin wrote earlier. Then changed it when someone mentioned it was for a 30 30. I thought I was wrong and didn't fact check either of us. Lol Just curious how do they shoot out of an AR ? Accuracy wise.
not just for/in 30/30, but listed data from hornady in 300savage, 307win, 30rem ar and 308marlin. although designed for lever action w/tube mags it can be used in 7.62nato and 308win dbm fed. either go with next lower weight bullets (155's) and use starting charge or go up 1 (165-168's) and use the middle bottom half (lower 1/4) for starting charge.
