.308 180 grain. Just pulled these from some reloads that came with a rifle I bought. Anybody know what they are?

Interesting. I'd vote Hornady as the construction looks like theirs, but they don't offer a bullet quite of that design (at least on midway) right now. Discontinued maybe?

If someone knows for sure I'd like to know too.

Hornady would be my guess as well! I'm not sure about the ring above the
cannelure but it looks like maybe caused by a taper crimp.

Hornady. That's their scallop design at the edge of the jacket. It was almost certainly a factory second, because that little ring is on factory ammo to differentiate 180-gr from 150s. From the crimping cannelure forward, both bullets are otherwise identical. The impressed ring tells you it's a 180-gr load.

[8D] I've got 190gr BTSP--308s from Hornady and they're pretty close to yours, but no ring, just cannelure/BT !!

Thanks for the info. They are at least 10 years old. The guy I got them from said they came with the rifle when he bought it and he hadn't fired it in 10 years.
