308 Win – 175 gr Match BTHP – Black Hills (2C308N5) – 200 Rounds

The 175 grain match bullet became a 308 standard because it stays stable through the transonic zone better than lighter bullets in many rifles. This listing is Black Hills 308 Winchester 175 grain match boat tail hollow point ammo, MPN 2C308N5, sold as 200 rounds for long range shooters, police marksmen, and high power competitors who want a proven heavy match load.

A 175 grain boat tail hollow point gives the 308 a good balance of ballistic coefficient, wind resistance, and moderate recoil. Black Hills is known for careful loading and component selection aimed at small, consistent groups, and the company supplies match ammunition to military and law enforcement customers. The open tip design comes from the manufacturing process for match bullets and is not intended for expansion. This is a precision target load, not a hunting round, and should not be used on game.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700 and 700 PCR, Savage 110 and 10 Precision, Ruger Precision Rifle, Tikka T3x TAC A1, Accuracy International AT, Springfield M1A, Bergara B-14, FN SPR, and AR-10 style rifles like the Knight’s SR-25 and LaRue OBR. A common question is why 175 grain loads replaced 168 grain for long range work. The heavier bullet stays supersonic longer and resists wind better in typical 308 barrels, which improves hit rates at 800 yards and beyond. Another common question is the right twist rate. A 1:10 or 1:11.25 twist stabilizes 175 grain bullets comfortably, and many 1:12 barrels handle them too.

Black Hills 2C308N5 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in Rapid City, South Dakota. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers, and the brass is valued by handloaders. This listing contains 200 rounds from one lot, which helps keep muzzle velocity and point of impact consistent through practice sessions and matches.
