S&B 308WIN 147GR FMJ 20/500

Description

Sellier & Bellot’s .308 Winchester 147-grain Full Metal Jacket load is built for the shooter who spends serious time at the range and needs ammunition that performs consistently without complicating the training calculus. The FMJ construction—a lead core enclosed in a CuZn 10 metallic jacket—keeps the bullet non-expanding and prevents barrel leading, which matters when you’re running high round counts through a precision or semi-automatic rifle and want to keep your bore in predictable condition.

At 147 grains, this projectile sits at the lighter end of common .308 bullet weights. That translates to a muzzle velocity of 2,789 fps and muzzle energy of 2,538 ft-lbs out of a 23.5-inch test barrel, producing a relatively flat trajectory through practical target distances. The G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.407 gives the bullet reasonable resistance to wind deflection for a standard FMJ design, making it a workable choice for both close-range drills and mid-range target work.

Sellier & Bellot loads this round in Sberkasse, Czech Republic, and the company has been manufacturing centerfire ammunition since the mid-1800s. The cartridge overall length of 2.787 inches falls within SAAMI and NATO specifications, so feeding reliability in standard .308 and 7.62 NATO platforms is a practical expectation rather than a claim. Packaging comes in 20-round boxes, with cases containing 25 boxes for 500 rounds total—straightforward for bulk range sessions or training supply planning.
