Remington UMC 308 is a straightforward practice load that matches the velocity of common 150 grain hunting rounds, which makes it useful for preseason work with a deer rifle. This listing is Remington UMC 308 Winchester 150 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 23715 (Remington L308W4), sold as a 200 round case.
Remington rates this load at 2,820 fps with 2,648 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Those numbers mirror Remington’s own 150 grain Core-Lokt hunting load, so recoil and trajectory feel very similar between practice and hunting, though you should still confirm zero with the exact load you will hunt with. The full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this is for practice, steel, and training rather than hunting or self defense.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700 and 783, Ruger American and Precision Rifle, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Winchester XPR, Springfield M1A, and AR-10 rifles such as the DPMS LR-308 and Smith and Wesson M&P10. A common question is how many rounds you need to be ready for deer season. Many hunters fire 40 to 60 rounds over several sessions, including field positions, which this case covers several times over. Another common question is whether practice with FMJ translates to a hunting load. If both are 150 grain at similar velocity, the feel and drop are close, but always confirm zero with your actual hunting ammunition.
Remington 23715 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This case ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 308 Win 150 grain FMJ from one lot, enough for several range trips and a solid preseason practice plan. Save the brass if you handload, since Remington cases are a common starting point.
