Buffalo Bore’s Sniper line brings a heavy-for-caliber 175-grain hollow point boat tail to .308 Winchester (brand part no. S30817520), stepping past the 147- and 150-grain FMJ loads that fill most range shelves. Buffalo Bore Ammunition pairs the added mass with a boat-tail base that cuts drag in flight, letting the bullet hold velocity and energy longer for a flatter path downrange — the same reasoning behind classic 175-grain match loadings. The company builds this load field-proven for shooters who need genuine precision from a .308-chambered rifle rather than volume of fire. For .308 shooters in rifle ammunition stretching distance, this Sniper-line load is a real step up from bulk FMJ.

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 a 175-grain bullet in .308 Winchester? The heavier bullet retains energy and accuracy at extended range better than common lighter FMJ loads.
