308 Win – 180 gr FMJ – Sellier & Bellot (SB308B) – 20 Rounds

Heavy 180 grain FMJ is uncommon in 308 range ammo, which makes this box useful for shooters who want practice rounds that mimic the weight of their heavier hunting loads. This listing is Sellier and Bellot 308 Winchester 180 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN SB308B, sold as one 20 round box.

Sellier and Bellot rates this load at 2,411 fps with 2,324 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 180 grain bullet is slower than the common 147 to 150 grain 308 practice loads, with a heavier push in recoil and a trajectory closer to 180 grain hunting ammunition. That makes it handy for practicing field positions before an elk or moose hunt with a 180 grain load. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this ammunition is for target practice and plinking, not for hunting game.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110, Tikka T3x, Winchester Model 70, Browning X-Bolt, Springfield M1A, and AR-10 pattern rifles. A common question is whether a 180 grain load runs reliably in a gas-operated 308. Most rifles cycle it fine, but heavier bullets change port pressure, so confirm function in your rifle with a few magazines. Another common question is whether a single box is enough to check zero. Yes. Twenty rounds is enough to confirm zero and shoot a few groups at 100 and 200 yards.

Sellier and Bellot SB308B is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the Czech Republic, where the company has produced ammunition since 1825. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This listing ships as one box of 20 rounds. It is an easy add-on to a larger order, or a low-cost way to test how your rifle groups heavy bullets before you commit to a full case.
