PPU Match ammunition in .308 Winchester (brand part no. PPM3082) loads a 168-grain boat tail hollow point match bullet built for precision and competition shooting. PPU rates the load at 2,610 fps with 2,541 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, and the bullet’s .450 ballistic coefficient holds velocity and resists wind drift at distance. The BTHP profile here is a match design — the hollow point exists to improve jacket concentricity and accuracy, not to expand on game — making this a target and competition load rather than a hunting round. The brass cases extract reliably and reload cleanly for handloaders. Among match-grade rifle ammunition, this PPU load is a natural fit for precision shooters chasing tight groups at distance without a premium price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be fired in a 7.62x51mm NATO rifle? .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO chambers are dimensionally similar, and modern rifles chambered for either typically handle .308 Winchester — but commercial .308 runs higher pressure than 7.62 NATO military spec, so check your rifle’s barrel markings or manufacturer guidance for older military-spec 7.62 chambers.

Is the BTHP bullet designed to expand? No, this is a match-style hollow point built for accuracy and consistency, not an expanding hunting bullet.

What is this load best suited for? Precision and match shooting where consistent, repeatable accuracy matters most.
