308 Win – 178 gr BTHP – Hornady (8105) – 200 Rounds

Heavier 30 caliber match bullets hold up better in wind at long range, and 178 grains is a sweet spot for many 308 target rifles. This listing is Hornady Match 308 Winchester 178 grain boat tail hollow point ammo, MPN 8105, sold as 200 rounds for F-T/R competitors, tactical precision shooters, and law enforcement marksmen who train at extended distances.

Hornady rates this load at 2,600 fps with 2,672 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 178 grain BTHP match bullet is built with tight jacket concentricity and a sleek boat tail for consistent flight and a good ballistic coefficient for the 308. The added weight and ballistic coefficient help the bullet resist wind and hold velocity at long range, which is why many competitors step up from 168 grain loads for distances past 600 yards. Like other match bullets, it is made for accuracy and is not intended for hunting.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, such as the Remington 700 and 700 PCR, Savage 110 Elite Precision and 10 FCP, Ruger Precision Rifle, Tikka T3x TAC A1, Bergara B-14 HMR, Accuracy International AT, Springfield M1A Loaded, and AR-10 style precision rifles. A common question is whether a 1:12 twist barrel stabilizes 178 grain bullets. Most 1:12 and 1:10 twist 308 barrels handle this weight, but very long bullets prefer the faster twist. Another common question is whether 308 match ammo is safe in a 7.62×51 NATO rifle. Commercial 308 is generally fine in rifles chambered for 7.62 NATO, though always follow your manufacturer’s guidance.

Hornady 8105 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Grand Island, Nebraska. It uses quality boxer-primed brass cases that are reloadable and non-corrosive primers. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, so your data and wind calls stay valid from one match to the next.
