Sellier & Bellot .308 Winchester 168-grain HPBT ammunition (brand part no. SB308G) brings a full century of Czech ammunition-making experience to the reloading bench and the firing line. Sellier & Bellot, founded in 1825 and now part of the CBC Group, builds this load around a boat-tail hollow-point bullet designed for flat trajectories and tight groups rather than rapid expansion. Brass cases and centerfire primers keep ignition consistent box after box, and the .308 Winchester chambering puts this ammunition in nearly every bolt-action and semi-auto rifle a shooter owns. For range days, load development, and high-volume practice, this rifle ammunition delivers the consistency S&B has built its reputation on since before smokeless powder was standard.
Key Specifications
- The chambering is .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO), one of the most widely supported rifle calibers on the market.
- The bullet weighs 168 grains, a proven weight for balancing flat trajectory with retained downrange energy.
- The bullet is a boat-tail hollow point (HPBT), a match-style design built for consistency rather than rapid expansion.
- The boat-tail base reduces aerodynamic drag, helping the bullet hold velocity and resist wind drift at extended range.
- Cases are made of brass, giving the load dependable extraction and the option to reload fired brass.
- Brass’s durability under multiple firings stretches the value of every box for handloaders who reload their own ammunition.
- Ignition is centerfire, the reliable primer format standard to nearly all modern rifle ammunition.
- Each box holds 20 rounds, a practical count for a range session or zero confirmation.
- Boxes are packaged in 500-round case lots, the standard S&B configuration for shooters who burn through .308 in volume.
