I use the Lee 160 grain gas checked TL bullet with R7 powder. Cycles the action the same as jacketed bullets. I lightly lube the action with ATF before shooting and clean after shooting.

I have used the Sierra .308 110 grain HP bullet in a few SKSs and they shot very well.

I like the sierra 150gr bullets for the enfields out of mine they shoot very well, I don't mess with .308 bullets much in it mine wants to scatter them around.
