Overview
Built for hunting applications, this ammunition is intended for hunters who want a controlled-expansion load for larger game.

Chambered in .308 Win / 7.62 NATO with a 150-grain bullet, it is offered in a 20-round box and lists a muzzle velocity of 2820 fps with 2649 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. It’s a straightforward choice for opening day or other big-game hunts where dependable terminal performance is the priority.
