This Fort Scott Munitions .308 Winchester load (brand part no. 308-165-SCV22) carries a 165-grain bullet machined from a solid billet of copper rather than swaged around a lead core. Fort Scott Munitions spins each bullet on a lathe to shape it, then relies on the Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) design to generate its wound channel by tumbling end over end after penetration instead of mushrooming like a conventional soft point. Being one piece of copper, there is no core-jacket separation to fail through barriers, and the load is genuinely lead-free. In rifle ammunition built around spun-copper technology, this is a distinctive .308 hunting and defensive option.

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.

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