Frequently Asked Questions
Ammo Inc .308 for Sale

Is 168 grain 308 good for deer?

Yes, 168 grain .308 works well for deer. It performs reliably from close range out to 400+ yards with good expansion and clean kills when shot placement is sound. Use hunting-specific loads for consistent terminal performance — match bullets like the BTHP and ELD-M produce inconsistent results on deer and are not recommended.

How much does a 150 grain 308 drop at 250 yards?

A 150 grain .308 Winchester drops approximately 7-8 inches at 250 yards when zeroed at 100 yards, assuming a muzzle velocity near 2,820 fps. Actual drop varies with muzzle velocity, barrel length, and atmospheric conditions. Use a ballistics calculator for precise figures.

What is the shelf life of .308 ammo?

Properly stored .308 ammunition can last 50 years or more. The military considers sealed, climate-controlled ammo reliable for decades. Keep it cool, dry, and away from humidity. Brass casings resist corrosion well. Degradation typically affects primers first, causing misfires before the powder or projectile fails.

What is the most accurate bullet weight for a 308?

Accuracy depends on your rifle and intended use rather than a single most accurate weight. For .308 Winchester, 168 grain and 175 grain bullets excel at target shooting, while 150 to 180 grain rounds perform well for hunting. Test different weights in your specific rifle to find what shoots best.
