S&B 308WIN 180GR SP 20/500

Description

Sellier & Bellot’s 308 Winchester 180-grain Soft Point is built for hunters who need a round that opens reliably on contact and holds together through the target. The semi-jacketed construction exposes a lead tip that initiates expansion immediately on impact, while the precisely engineered copper-zinc jacket controls how that expansion unfolds — limiting fragmentation and keeping weight retention high enough to drive deep into heavy game. That combination makes it a practical choice for deer, boar, and similarly sized animals at hunting distances where you need the bullet to do consistent work regardless of the angle of entry.

At 180 grains, this load sits on the heavier end of the standard 308 Winchester weight range. Heavier projectiles carry more sectional density, which translates to better penetration through bone and shoulder muscle compared to lighter, faster options in the same caliber. The trade-off is a more arced trajectory at extended range, so it rewards a shooter who knows their zero and compensates accordingly rather than one relying on a flat-shooting load to cover ranging errors.

The ammunition is brass-cased and Boxer-primed, which makes it fully reloadable for anyone who wants to reclaim the brass. Sellier & Bellot manufactures this at their Czech facility, and the cases are packed in oil-resistant boxes designed to resist corrosion during extended storage — a practical detail for hunters who buy in quantity ahead of a season and store rounds for months at a time. Available in 20-round boxes or 500-round cases of 25 boxes.
