Description
.308 Winchester 178 Grain Hornady BTHP Match~Ā TheĀ .308 WinchesterĀ is a rimless, bottleneckedĀ rifle cartridge and is the commercial cartridge from which the 7.62x51mm NATO round was derived. The .308 Winchester was introduced in 1952, two years prior to the NATO adoption of the 7.62Ć51mm NATO T65.Ā Winchester branded the cartridge and introduced it to the commercial hunting market as the .308 Winchester. Winchesterās Model 70, Model 100 andĀ Model 88 rifles were subsequently chambered for the new cartridge. The .308 Winchester is one of the most popular hunting cartridges in the United States, and possibly the world. It has gained popularity in many countries as an exceptional cartridge for game in the medium- to large-sized class.Ā In North America it is used extensively on whitetail deer, pronghorn and even the occasional caribouĀ or black bear.
While .308 Winchester has traditionally been the most popular cartridge in the past, the development of lighter recoil chamberings with sufficient downrange energy, like theĀ 7mm-08 Remington,Ā .260 Remington, andĀ 6.5 Creedmoor, is becoming more common for metallic silhouette shooting.
