What this solid copper fragmenting bullet is built to do

This is a sheds petals into separate wound paths on impact while the base continues forward, giving multiple channels plus penetration from a single projectile.

It is worth separating weight from construction when comparing loads. They are independent variables, and construction is the one that decides outcome.

.308 Winchester background

The reference cartridge for .30 calibre performance, with the widest bullet selection of any rifle round.

Muzzle velocity for .308 Winchester typically runs 2,400 to 2,800 fps, from a AR-10 or bolt platform with a 1:10 to 1:12 twist. Treat any published velocity as indicative. Your barrel will give you a different number, and that number is the one that matters.

Choosing this bullet weight

At 152 grain this is on the lighter side for .308 Winchester. Lighter bullets leave the muzzle faster and shoot flatter, which helps on smaller targets and at distance, but they bleed velocity sooner and depend more on impact speed to do their job.

Cost per round

20 rounds at $54.99 works out at $2.750 per round. A box this size suits load development, hunting stock and defensive carry rather than high volume practice.

Ordering and compliance

Federal law does not class ammunition as a firearm, yet several states and cities restrict or licence ammunition shipments. You must be of legal age and eligible to possess ammunition at your delivery address. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

Intended use

Loads are tools, not rankings. This suits hunters and defensive shooters who want rapid energy transfer and multiple wound paths rather than a single clean channel.

What your barrel does to these numbers

Velocity scales with barrel length, and the effect is largest on lighter, faster bullets. Check what your own barrel actually delivers. For .308 Winchester specifically, expect 2,400 to 2,800 fps as the published band and treat your own chronograph as the authority.

Keeping it serviceable

Keep cartridges cool, dry and at stable temperature. Heat cycling in a garage or vehicle does more damage over time than age does, and factory packaging protects bullet tips from knocking together.

Choosing .308 Winchester over something else

Against 6.5 Creedmoor it gives up ballistic coefficient and wind performance, and gains bullet selection, brass availability and lower cost. Against .30-06 it gives up a little case capacity in a shorter action.

None of that makes one cartridge better in the abstract. It makes them better at different jobs, and the job is yours to define.

Stock and handling

This is genuine factory ammunition, held in a climate stable stockroom rather than a container. Orders are picked from sealed cases and packed so nothing shifts in transit.

If this is your first purchase in this calibre, buy one box before you buy ten. Rifles are individual, and a load that groups beautifully in one barrel can string in another for no obvious reason.
