Hornady Bullets 30 Cal .308 - 165gr JSP ammunition components deliver the precision and reliability demanded by precision rifle shooters, hunters, and tactical marksmen. These jacketed soft-point projectiles are engineered for consistent performance across medium to long-range applications where controlled expansion and deep penetration matter. Whether you're handloading for a bolt-action precision rifle, AR-10 platform, or dedicated hunting rifle, this 100-round box format provides the consistency needed for reliable ballistic performance downrange.
The 165-grain soft-point design balances velocity retention with controlled expansion, achieving a ballistic coefficient of .387 and sectional density of .248—metrics that translate to superior wind-bucking capability and energy transfer on target. Hornady's strategically placed inner grooves weaken the jacket's upper section, ensuring predictable expansion while the copper-jacketed construction resists fouling and provides extended barrel life. This grain weight sits in the optimal range for .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO platforms, delivering flat trajectories and minimal drift in real-world field conditions without excessive recoil or velocity loss.
Precision shooters reloading for tactical competitions, long-range hunting, or service-rifle matches will appreciate the consistency and accuracy potential these bullets provide when loaded to proper specifications. The 100-round box quantity—arranged in 15 boxes per case for bulk purchases—supports both single-load development and production runs. Compatible with all standard .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO reloading dies and equipment, these bullets perform reliably across powder charge windows and primer combinations when loaded within manufacturer guidelines.
