One outfit online (Freedom) makes/sells the ammo linked below. What is the purpose of fmj of 150 grains?

Because some people like slow and heavy? Bet it rings a steel gong like a bell.

Same reason 150 grain 300 blackout is a thing
Companies already make large amounts of those projectiles |

I'd agree this is them probably maximizing their component utility and using the common .308 150gr. FMJ. Or hell, maybe they used an in-between bullet around .309-.310 as a catch-all for all the various "30-cal" loadngs. |

Russians produced a 154gr sp for many years. Great ammo.
Not sure what a FMJ would be odd. |

If they made a 220gr loaded round, I’d shoot it.

I know that Freedom has a reputation for blowing up guns. I would be hard pressed to spend my money on that.
