The tip and a re-engineered nose cavity provide even faster expansion. Complete penetration, virtually 100-percent weight retention and four razor-sharp cutting petals that double bullet diameter means the new Tipped TSX creates more internal damage than any competing bullet. Instant expansion and perfect penetration ensures cleaner, quicker kills. The Barnes Tipped TSX - accept no imitations. Muzzle velocity of 2680fps. This ammo comes packed in 20rds. per box.

When I googled the best bullet this came up. I was going after hogs and heard they are tough and the first time hunting them I did not use these and it took 3 rounds to put her down. I was not going for a head shot. So for the next hunt I wanted a better bullet to do the job. I was using my 300 win mag and with one good shot he ran about 50 yards and dropped. It was right at dark so I really did not see where he went. I just followed a little blood trail and then shined the light around and there he was. Thank you Barnes Bullets.

What is the Difference Between the .308 Winchester and the 7.62x51 NATO?

In short, not much. The .308 is the civilian version of the 7.62x51, so these two cartridges have practically the same specs, with only slight variations in a few areas. They both have bullets measuring .308 inches in diameter and case lengths of 2.015 inches. The differences are minimal: for example, the .308 Winchester has a neck diameter of .3433 inches, while the 7.62x51 NATO has a neck diameter of .345. The overall length of the .308 Winchester is 2.8 inches, while the 7.62x51 NATO measures 2.75 inches. Looking at the two cartridges side-by-side, it takes an experienced, knowledgable eye to tell the two apart.

Can You Interchange the .308 with the 7.62x51?

Yes, although it depends on the firearm. First of all, let’s acknowledge the fact that these two cartridges do indeed have slightly different dimensions. However, these differences are so insignificant that, at least for loading, chambering, and firing, everything fits. The only major problem is shooting .308 Winchester cartridges from a firearm meant for the 7.62x51 NATO. The .308 Winchester has a stronger maximum pressure, so guns made for the 7.62x51 NATO may not tolerate the higher pressure, leading to failure. However, all guns that are made for .308 Winchester will take, and should safely fire, the 7.62x51 NATO. As always, speak with a gunsmith or consult the manufacturer before interchanging rounds.

What Type of .308 Cartridge Should I Choose for Hunting?

Generally the best hunting cartridges will be expanding rounds, which deliver larger wound channels for a fast, humane kill. This means you will want jacketed hollow points or soft nose bullets. Generally, full metal jackets are not recommended for hunting.

What Type of .308 Winchester Cartridge Should I Choose for Target Practice?

If you use the .308 Winchester or 7.62x51 NATO for target practice or competition, you will want jacketed hollow points. These rounds are ideal for high-volume target shooting with a semi-automatic rifle, as they allow for smooth feeding and less fouling in the barrel. To lower costs, you can choose lead round nose, although the feeding will not be as reliable and barrel fouling is more likely.

Is Steel-Cased Ammo a Good Choice?

Because this is a high-volume cartridge meant for semiautomatic weapons (and fully automatic in the case of the military), the cartridge can often be found in steel cases, which can be cheaper than brass cases. However, there is some concern about these products. Modern steel cases generally work well in semiautomatic weapons, and while steel itself tends to jam easier than brass, many steel cartridges have a coating that increases the smoothness of feeding. The steel ammunition that you find today is extremely reliable and will not harm your firearm outside of the typical wear that you’d have from any cartridge- steel, brass, or otherwise.
