Hello all,
I have a couple questions regarding loading data. A little back story really quick. Today my buddy at work gave me a early birthday gift card to TX road house but also gave me
some Hornady match bullets.

I haven't started to reload 308 yet. Been getting the dies and everything I need before starting. The only thing I have currently is PMC 308 brass that is one time fired. I been looking last couple of weeks and even tonight for Large primers. All I could find so far is small pistol primers. Plus I need to figure out which primer would be good to start out with.
When I got home I went to my Lyman book and Modern Reloading Second edition Lee book.
I could not find the 168 BTHP bullet in either book. I did find in the Lyman book 168 jacketed HPBT ..
Lee book i only found 168 jacket bullet.
Now my question is
1. When loading for a remington 700 ADL rifle is 168 high to start out with? I'm trying to find what bullet works for this rifle. I will be using this rifle for range shooting and seeing how far I could shoot.
2. Since I can't find the bullet in those 2 book do I need to purchase a Hornandy book and does that apply to Sierra bullets as well?
Any kind of help would be awesome.
