Why can't I find heavy grain FMJ .308 bullets?

I have a guess. The military doesn't use them. I'd be willing to bet all the 147/150gr FMJ out there comes off the same line as the military bullets. There isn't much of a civilian market for FMJ, so it doesn't make business sense to tool up to produce a product with little demand.
 
I'm just not interested in OTM bullets. An OTM bullet will never stay together and penetrate deeper that a FMJ in my opinion, and I don't give a flying rats ass what other advantages it offers.
Not interested.
FMJ means FMJ, and that's what I asked for help in finding.
 
Everything seems to go 170gr then jumps to 185gr.
Nothing in the middle. I would assume there is reason for this if no one makes them.

That's what I'm running into as well. I did find that Prvi Partizan makes a 175 FMJ, but I'm not sure about the quality of that brand.
I also really like the Lapua examples you guys posted, so it looks like I've got a few good options so far.
