Buffalo Bore’s Sniper line brings a heavy-for-caliber 175-grain hollow point boat tail bullet to .308 Winchester (load no. S30817520), stepping well past the 147- and 150-grain FMJ loads that fill most range shelves. The boat tail base cuts drag in flight, letting the bullet hold velocity and energy longer than a flat-base design of the same weight, while the added mass improves the ballistic coefficient for a flatter path downrange. Buffalo Bore builds this load field-proven for shooters who need genuine precision from a .308-chambered rifle, not just volume of fire. For .308 shooters in rifle ammunition stretching distance, this Sniper-line load is a real step up from bulk FMJ.
