.308 Ammo For Sale

During the 1940s, the .300 Savage became the basis for experiments on behalf of the U.S. military that resulted in the development of the T65 series of experimental cartridges. The original experimental case design by the Frankford Arsenal was designated the T65 and was similar to the .300 Savage case, but with less taper. The experimental cases were made from standard .30-06 Springfield cases which gave a little less capacity than standard .300 Savage cases because the Frankford Arsenal cases had slightly thicker case walls.

The .308 Winchester ammo has become the most popular short-action, big-game hunting cartridge worldwide. It is also commonly used for hunting, target shooting, metallic silhouette, bench rest target shooting, Palma shooting, metal matches, military sniping, and police sharpshooting. The relatively short case makes the .308 Winchester ammo especially well-adapted for short-action rifles. When loaded with a bullet that expands, tumbles, or fragments in tissue, this cartridge is capable of high terminal performance.

 308 Winchester Ammo History

The .308 was introduced in 1952, and it quickly gained popularity among hunters and shooters. In the 1960s, it was adopted by the U.S. military as the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, which is still in use today by many military and law enforcement agencies around the world. The three hundred and eight Winchester is also widely used by hunters, as it is suitable for taking down a wide range of game, including deer, elk, and bear.
