FYI, I have a M1S 16" 1/9 barrel and of course I am looking at supersonic loadings.
I have not been happy with my current results using 150gr bullets.
Thanx!

GaryM,
This question often comes up on this board. I went over the past posts and put together the links for you.
In summary, if you do your part and put the bullet in the right spot any .308 cal. bullet that the 300-221 Fireball/300 Whisper shoots will do the job.
Here are the links:
