Hunters who carry a 180 grain load and shooters who want a heavier 308 practice round both benefit from a 180 grain full metal jacket. This listing is Sellier & Bellot 308 Winchester 180 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN SB308B, sold as 500 rounds for rifle practice, steel target shooting, and matching the recoil of heavy hunting loads during training.
Sellier & Bellot rates this load at 2,411 fps with 2,324 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The heavy 180 grain bullet moves more slowly than common 147 or 150 grain ball, giving a different trajectory and recoil feel that more closely resembles heavy hunting loads. That makes it useful for practicing positions and follow-up shots before a hunt. Because it is a full metal jacket bullet, it does not expand and is intended for target shooting, not hunting.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Remington 700, Savage 110 and 10, Ruger American and Precision Rifle, Tikka T3x, Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Springfield M1A, FN FAL, and AR-10 style rifles from Aero Precision, DPMS, and Smith and Wesson. A common question is whether a 180 grain FMJ will cycle a semi-auto 308. Most gas operated 308s run it, but rifles with adjustable gas may need a setting change, so test before a match. Another common question is whether 308 and 7.62×51 are interchangeable. In most modern rifles, commercial 308 is fine in a 7.62 NATO chamber, but check your rifle’s manual.
Sellier & Bellot SB308B is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the Czech Republic. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing ships as 25 boxes of 20 rounds for 500 total from one lot, which keeps your drop data and point of impact consistent across the full supply and through several range seasons.
