No high-falutin’ OTM, HPBT, or polymer tipped thing here. This round’s bullet is the good old full metal jacket, with a boat tail to help it hold on to more of its energy as it covers longer spans. The FMJBT’s 150 grain weight ought to feel real familiar to anyone who’s spent some time with 7.62x51 M80, and its steel-free construction licenses it for use at particular gun ranges.
Federal clocked this round’s muzzle velocity using their 24” long 308 test barrel, and places its G1 ballistic coefficient (a numeric representation of aerodynamic efficiency) at 0.408 (respectable for the FMJBT). Those numbers combined add up to this long-range performance:
