Frequently asked questions

What hunting situations suit the 180-grain weight in .308 Winchester?

The 180-grain load handles medium to large game—elk, mule deer, and black bear—out to typical hunting ranges. It carries enough energy for reliable performance without excessive recoil, making it versatile across varied terrain and distances.

Does bonded bullet construction affect velocity or trajectory?

Bonded bullets maintain consistent velocity since the core stays intact. You get flatter trajectories and more predictable drop than fragmenting designs, which simplifies field holdovers and improves accuracy confidence.
