Product Summary

Sierra Ammo 308 Winchester 165 Grain TGK Per 20

Winchester introduced the cartridge to the sporting public as the 308 Winchester. Initially the 308 was chambered in the bolt action Model 70 rifle. Since then the cartridge has been chambered by virtually every major arms maker in almost every conceivable action type. Public acceptance was slow due largely to unflattering comparisons to the 30-06. Despite the initial lukewarm enthusiasm the 308 has become one of the most useful sporting cartridges. The 308 is an extremely accurate cartridge. In fact it probably is the most inherently accurate 30 caliber commercial cartridge ever produced. Few if any other cartridges have been so successful in such a wide range of shooting disciplines. It has also become quite popular as a hunting cartridge and is adequate for most North American big game species particularly deer-sized game. Sierra® offers this venerable round with it’s 165-grain GameChangerTM bullet as an excellent choice for an all-around performer in the field.

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
