This Fort Scott Munitions .308 Winchester load (part no. 308-165-SCV22) loads a 165-grain bullet machined from a solid billet of copper rather than a jacketed lead core. Fort Scott Munitions spins each bullet on a lathe to shape it, then relies on their Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) design to generate a wound channel by tumbling end over end after penetration instead of mushrooming like a conventional soft point. That makes it a genuinely lead-free option for .308 Win shooters who want a different terminal mechanism than a standard expanding bullet. In rifle ammunition built around this spun-copper technology, this is a distinctive .308 hunting and defensive option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this bullet expand on impact? No. It’s a solid copper TUI design engineered to tumble after penetration rather than mushroom, which is a different terminal mechanism than a traditional expanding soft point.

Why choose a solid copper bullet over a lead-core round? A solid copper bullet is fully lead-free and holds together through heavy barriers without the core-jacket separation that can affect conventional bullets.
