Overview
Built for shooters who want a match-grade option in .308 Win / 7.62 NATO, this load is aimed at precision work where consistency matters. Hornady pairs a 178-grain boat tail hollow point bullet with carefully selected brass cases and load-specific powder to support uniform performance from round to round. It’s a practical choice for competitive shooting and for hunters who prefer a refined, accuracy-focused cartridge rather than a general-purpose field load. Each box contains 20 rounds, making it suited to deliberate practice, sighting in, or other controlled shooting applications.
