Wilson Combat’s .308 Winchester TME load (brand part no. LA308175TME) pairs a 175-grain Tipped Maximum Expansion bullet, designed by Lehigh Defense, with a high ballistic coefficient tip built to punch through hard, dry barriers like wood, drywall, bone, or sheet metal without deforming along the way. Wilson Combat markets this as a genuinely barrier-blind .308 round, and the heavier 175-grain weight adds retained downrange energy over the 155-grain version of the same bullet for shooters who favor mass over speed. In rifle ammunition engineered for barrier-blind performance, this is the heavy option in a specialized line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot this in a 7.62 NATO-chambered rifle? The chambers are dimensionally similar, and modern rifles marked for either typically handle .308 Winchester — but commercial .308 Win runs higher pressure than 7.62 NATO military spec, so check your rifle’s barrel markings or the manufacturer’s guidance before using it in an older military-spec 7.62 chamber.

Why choose 175gr over the 155gr TME load? The heavier bullet retains more downrange energy and typically holds trajectory better at longer distances, a standard trade-off against the faster 155-grain option.
