Bullets for Cetme Reloading

[86thecat]

Other than fmj what bullets have you found suitable for a Cetme? Most soft points seem to get a bloody nose when feeding. The best I've found are Rem 150 gn PSP core lokt. Jacket goes almost completly to tip and dummy rounds show little damage in feeding, $10 per 100 doesn't hurt either, are proven on deer size game and have decent accuracy.

All depends really. Are you looking to recreate military style ammo or something for hunting.

I admit a preference for Hornady bullets in my two Cetmes.

I have been using a military type load using CCI large military primers, Hornady 155gr A-Max bullet with either 39-40.5gr of IMR4895. If it is hot and/or windy out I'll use the higher load weight.

An alternate is to use the Hornady 168gr BTHP. Using these bullets I have found that using 40-40.5gr of the same IMR4895 works well. I'll use this load for longer range shots, something as far out as 200-300 yards.

I bought a box of 500 Remington 150g PSP-CL and they have shot
great in every rifle that I have loaded them in except my Garand.
I really like these bullets and like 86thecat mentioned, they were
cheap, and that is a big plus.

Rem 150's and Winchester 150 PP's work well.

The prevailing wisdom is that nose damage (within reason) is not a major issue in accuracy. Base damage is lethal to accuracy.
