20rds – 308 Win Barnes Suppressor Series 205gr. HPBT GameKing Ammo Details

Do you enjoy not making a fuss? Has that fuss aversion manifested as a desire to hunt with a 308 Win rifle and a suppressor? Then you’ll find nothing to fuss about when you give Barnes Suppressed Series ammunition a go!

This cartridge’s advertised muzzle velocity is a mere 1,060 fps. Normal variance doesn’t threaten to break the 1,125 fps sound barrier, so you can expect remarkably quiet report even if you aren’t using a suppressor.

The bullet’s bulky 205 grain weight doesn’t just keep it from going too fast. It also helps the bullet buck wind drift – a characteristic its extremely high 0.480 G1 and 0.245 G7 ballistic coefficients both testify to.

Barnes let Sierra make this ammo’s bullets for them. They are GameKings, which, true to their name, are designed for hunting (but by no means disappointing if your only goal is match accuracy). The GameKing combines an aerodynamically efficient hollow point boat tail design with a nose cavity that triggers expansion at velocity as cool as 900 fps. According to our math, the 205gr SGK won’t transition to the 800s until it has flown 495 yards (assuming a 24” barrel) – definitely farther than you’d probably want to attempt covering with a subsonic 308!
