308 Win – 180 gr SP – Winchester Super-X (X3086) – 200 Rounds

When the game gets bigger, many 308 hunters step up to the heaviest common bullet weight for deeper penetration. This listing is Winchester Super-X 308 Winchester 180 grain Power-Point soft point ammo, MPN X3086, sold as 200 rounds for elk, black bear, large whitetails, and hog hunters, as well as hunting camps that supply several rifles.

Winchester rates this load at 2,620 fps with 2,743 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Power-Point bullet has an exposed lead tip and a jacket with notches near the nose, which start expansion reliably while the thicker base holds the bullet together. The heavy 180 grain bullet loses less energy in wind and on impact with bone than lighter bullets, making it a strong choice for close to moderate range shots in timber and brush. This is a hunting load, not a target or defensive round.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 308 Winchester, including the Winchester Model 70 and XPR, Remington 700 and 783, Savage 110 and Axis, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt and BLR, Henry Long Ranger, and AR-10 style rifles such as the Ruger SFAR. A common question is whether 180 grain or 150 grain is better in the 308. Lighter bullets shoot flatter for deer in open country, while 180 grain bullets carry more weight for elk and bear. Another common question is whether 180 grain loads cycle in semi-auto 308 rifles. Most do, but confirm reliable cycling with your rifle before the season.

Winchester X3086 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 total from one lot, enough to zero and practice with the same load you will hunt with for several seasons. Confirm your zero at the distance you expect to shoot, since heavy bullets drop more past 200 yards.
