Can someone help me find Remington Managed Recoil in .308 please?

[DoubleJ]

They are out of stock everywhere.  Stores don't have them, they are backordered online.  Can someone help?

Suggestion:

Hand load using a lighter bullet (125gn instead of a 180gn) with a lighter powder charge. That's pretty much all this stuff is. OK, Remington uses a copper bullet that's lighter than most of us would shoot at big game that is designed to expand better at lower velocities, but it does shoot 2" lower at 100yds since it's traveling slower.

I'm sure there are reasons to shoot that stuff. I just can't think of any. Sorry.

Man-up or install a Pachmayr Decelorator recoil pad.  http://www.pachmayr.com/prefit-pads.php

You want lighter recoil, and you don't reload.  Seems pretty straightforward to me.  I shoot 300 Magnums but also kill deer with the 30-06 Managed Recoil ammunition.

seems like a good enough reason to me.
Not all 11 year olds are ready to "man up" just yet. a pad only does so much.
We're not all reloaders, Steve..."man-down" a little.

Not sure if it's in stock, but try...

I think the Remington managed recoil is great stuff. I wouldn't buy it, as I would just load a lighter bullet with a relatively fast powder which requires less grains of powder than the slower powders, and also helps reduce recoil. I have some 270 shells that I loaded up a while back with 46 grains of IMR 3031 and a 130 grain Hornady. Compared to my standard loads of 58 grains of h4831 and a 150 grain bullet, these don't kick at all. And performance wise, they're certainly not much behind my standard load with the slow burning powder, definitely not enough to matter until you get to shooting out past 300 yards.

I would say find someone who reloads, and talk him into loading up some low recoil 308's. A 125 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip at about 2400 feet per second would be a very good deer load and surely wouldn't have much kick to it.

Already have a limbsaver and it's for my 8 year old son.  Also, I don't reload

Nope.  Out of stock there too.  Is Remington even making this stuff anymore or is it just so popular they can't keep up with demand?

Anyone reload living near Shelton that could contract this for me?  I can get the parts, just need a reloader to tell me what to get and to put them together for me.  I would much rather have Nosler BT's than the Remington bullets.

Another question.  I don't reload so, I don't know anything about it.  What powder would I buy?  How much to make 50 rounds?  I'm assuming I'd need to buy the Nosler 125gn BT's and brass, just not sure about the propellant.

H4895 is a good powder for doing up some reduced loads.  Here is a link:

Get the Speer #14 handbook.  They have the best reduced recoil loads on any book I've seen.  They use very small amounts of powder like SR4759.  Some of the loads are phenomenally light: 13 grains of powder for a 25-06 shooting 85 grain bullets, for example.
