Sellier & Bellot .308 Winchester 180gr Soft Point Cut Through Edge ammunition (brand part no. SB308F) is built for hunters who want a heavier .308 bullet engineered specifically for a clean, trackable kill. Sellier & Bellot machines a cutting edge into the bullet’s jacket that locks the jacket to the lead core, producing controlled expansion, a clean entrance wound, and a distinct, easy-to-follow blood trail on light to medium game. The 180-grain weight adds penetration margin over lighter .308 loads without giving up expansion. In rifle ammunition for deer and hogs, this is a load built around a fast, ethical recovery.
