Big, heavy 205 grain bullet. Weaker propellant charge, which is formulated to minimize gas blowback and noise. These two features combine to deliver at 1,060 fps muzzle velocity – about 65 fps slower than sonic.
The bullet is a Sierra GameKing: a hollow point boat tail designed to deliver its best terminal expansion following impact ranging from 900 to 1,150 fps, which means this round is (theoretically) effective at ranges beyond 300 yards.
The sleek and balanced 0.480 G1/0.245 G1 BC projectile does do its part to fly with precision, although a subsonic 308 Win load’s trajectory is necessarily pretty droopy. We calculate this round’s trajectory to look like this:
