shaman, The gimmick cartridge or trick bullet is what drew me to the 308ME.
You purchase the 308ME ammo and the Hodgdon LE powder and Hornady components to reload the spent brass, and follow Hodgdons recipe. You check the rounds out with a chronograph and then proceed to go hunting. No guess work for the most part.
While my 308ME is capable of good accuracy if I don't get wiggly, I don't use it for benchrest type activities.
If just using the Hornady ammo that is fine also. I think the FTX is a fine killing bullet and have taken deer with it that were DRT's
Nearly 308 Win performance in a nice shooting package. Whats not to like?
