Bonded polymer tip and brass construction

The 180-grain bonded projectile pairs a polymer tip with a bonded core—this design resists fragmentation across velocity ranges typical of .30-06 Springfield rifles. Brass casings provide reliable feeding and extraction cycle after cycle. Each box holds 20 rounds, and the 2.35 cost-per-round helps you stock multiple boxes without excessive outlay. If you're transferring ammunition through a California FFL, check FFL transfer pricing to understand your total landed cost. TacticCAL is your local gun store in the Bay Area.

Frequently asked questions

What makes bonded-core construction different from standard hollow-point rounds?

Bonded-core ammunition uses a chemical bond between jacket and core to prevent separation during impact. This maintains weight retention and deeper penetration compared to traditional soft-point designs, making it reliable for hunting applications.

Is 180 grains the right weight for .30-06 Springfield hunting?

180-grain is a standard mid-weight for .30-06 Springfield. It balances velocity, energy delivery, and recoil across typical hunting distances. Your specific choice depends on game size and shot placement distance—consult ballistic tables for your rifle.
