308 Win – 168 gr Match BTHP – Black Hills (2C308N1) – 200 Rounds

The 168 grain match hollow point in 308 Winchester has been a standard for target and tactical marksmen for decades, and Black Hills is known for loading it well. This listing is Black Hills 308 Win 168 grain match hollow point boat tail ammo, MPN 2C308N1, sold as 200 rounds. It is aimed at precision rifle shooters, tactical marksmen, and anyone who wants to see what their 308 can really do on paper.

The 168 grain match BTHP is a precision target bullet. Its boat tail base reduces drag, and the small hollow point at the nose is a result of the match bullet construction process rather than a feature meant to expand. These bullets are built for uniform weight and shape, which is what produces tight groups at 100 yards and consistent wind behavior at 600. Match hollow points are not designed for reliable expansion, so this is target and competition ammunition, not a hunting load.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700 and 700 PCR, Savage 10 and 110, Tikka T3x, Ruger Precision Rifle, Bergara B-14, Springfield M1A, FN SPR, and AR-10 pattern rifles such as the DPMS and Aero M5. A common question is whether 308 Winchester is safe in a 7.62×51 NATO rifle. Yes, commercial 308 ammo works in 7.62 NATO chambers, and military chambers are slightly larger for reliability. Another common question is what twist rate suits 168 grain match bullets. A 1 in 10 or 1 in 11.25 inch twist, common in 308 rifles, stabilizes the 168 grain bullet well.

Black Hills 2C308N1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases, which are valued by handloaders, and non-corrosive components. The listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, so your data book stays valid from the first string to the last.
