Nosler Trophy Grade .308 Winchester rifle ammunition (brand part no. 60049) loads a 165-grain AccuBond bullet, a bonded-core hunting design built by the company that has defined premium big-game bullets for decades. The bonded construction fuses the lead core to the copper jacket, so the bullet expands into a controlled mushroom on impact while resisting the core-jacket separation that lets weight fall away on cheaper cup-and-core bullets. That retained weight drives deep penetration to the vitals, even on angled or heavy-shoulder shots, while the polymer tip initiates expansion instantly on contact. For .308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO hunters who want deep-penetrating, weight-retaining performance, this rifle ammunition from Nosler is built for exactly that.
