This may sound a little crazy, but as you can tell by my callsign Texas Patriot.308, I own several rifles in .308 including bolt actions, AR10s and a couple Springfield Armory M1As. my problem is I have come across magazines loaded with a variety of ammo in everything from 150 grain to 180 grain. I don't want to shoot anything larger than 167 grain ammo thru my M1As and I know different grain bullets will perform differently especially when using my bolt actions for hunting. I like to use my M77s and my Remington 788 for deer and hogs. My question is, other than the obvious judging by eyesight, is there some sort of scale or something to determine the bullet size by grain of factory loaded ammo or reloads for that matter. Just drives me crazy to see all the various .308 ammo I have come across in my safes lately.
