Sniping ain’t easy. Among other things, it requires a certain kind of ammo – not cheap M80 ball, but premium stuff loaded with premium bullets, and made by an excellent maker.
Hornady’s American Gunner series 308 Win ammo fully qualifies. This cartridge’s 155 grain hollow point boat tail doesn’t have a fancy brand name, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t got all the makings of a real sharpshooter’s bullet. Narrow tip? Optimally tapered base? Flawlessly concentric jacket, and similarly balanced lead core? Check, check, check, check. It all flows together to grant the HPBT a .405 G1 ballistic coefficient in conjunction with Hornady’s 24” barrel, which stands for this approximate trajectory: 0yds: -1.5” → 100yds: 5.0” → 200yds: 5.9” → 300yds: 0.0” → 400yds: -14.0” → 500yds: -37.8” → 600yds: -73.5”.
Hornady is commonly regarded as one of America’s best. Their own highest-quality bullets and brass cases go into this ammo, as do the highest-quality propellant and primers they can source.
Note: The HPBT doesn’t deliver the expansion you’d want for hunting medium game.
