308 Win – 165 gr Barnes TSX – Federal (P308H) – 200 Rounds

Federal pairs its premium loading with the Barnes TSX to give 308 hunters a deep-penetrating, lead-free option. This listing is Federal Premium 308 Winchester 165 grain Barnes TSX ammo, MPN P308H, sold as a 200 round case. It is intended for hunters who pursue deer, hogs, and elk and want one copper load that handles all of them, including in lead-restricted areas.

Federal rates P308H at 2,650 fps with 2,573 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The TSX is a monolithic copper hollow point that expands into four petals and typically retains nearly all of its original weight, which drives deep, straight penetration through heavy shoulders. Grooves on the shank reduce bearing surface and copper fouling. The 165 grain weight is a strong middle ground for the 308, flat enough for open country and heavy enough for elk at reasonable ranges. This is a hunting load, not a practice round.

It fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Tikka T3x, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Bergara B-14, Springfield M1A, and AR-10 pattern rifles. A common question is whether TSX bullets need a faster twist. Copper bullets are longer for their weight, but a 165 grain TSX stabilizes in the standard 1 in 10 and 1 in 12 twist barrels found on most 308 rifles. Another common question is whether this load meets California lead-free rules. TSX bullets are non-lead, but always confirm current regulations where you hunt.

Federal P308H is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. The case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total, all from one lot. That is enough to establish zero, practice at field distances, and carry the same load through many seasons of hunting.
