A lot of folks believe the 308 Win is the first round you should master for long-range shooting. It’s a good belief to share, partly because you’ll have easy access to military-grade sniper ammo. Case in point: this 308 by Igman, an ammo manufacturer and international exporter headquartered in the Balkan nation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Although military snipers would find ammo like this practical, we don’t advise it for hunting. The hollow point boat tail bullet won’t expand to inflict a wider, deadlier, and ultimately more humane injury on a trophy buck. It’s more likely to just pass right through it.
This round’s 175 grain bullet is 19 percent heavier than a standard M80 ball. More mass means more momentum, which in turn makes it harder for wind to push the bullet around. The HPBT’s smooth jacket profile, balanced lead core, and boat tail all help it move through the air more efficiently, conserving more of the bullet’s velocity as it races toward X.
Brand new reloadable brass cases on these factory fresh range loads. Military-grade cases aren’t polished after they’re annealed, which is the only reason for this ammo’s cosmetic discoloration. Noncorrosive and sealed Boxer primers. Nonmagnetic, too!
