Frequently Asked Questions

Is this loaded ammunition? No, it’s a component bullet only; you’ll need your own cases, powder, and primers to load finished .30-caliber/.308 rifle cartridges rounds.

What is this bullet best suited for? It’s a match/target bullet, built for the consistency long-range and precision rifle competitors need rather than hunting expansion.

Is this a hunting bullet or a target bullet? It’s built as a target bullet; the Custom Competition line prioritizes concentricity and consistent flight over the terminal expansion a hunting bullet is designed for.
