Hornady Full Metal Jacket Rifle Bullets, .30 Caliber / .308 diameter, 125 gr (part number 30196), are built with a rugged jacket around a cold-swaged pure-lead core, a construction Hornady uses specifically because the thinly plated jackets on cheaper FMJ bullets distort or separate on impact. Reloaders load this flat-base 125-grain bullet for high-volume .30-caliber rifle practice and training, where consistent balance and stability in flight matter more than expansion. They ship 100 to a box, 25 boxes to the case.
