The Federal P308LRX1 delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with Barnes LRX (Long-Range X) bullets engineered for precision shooting and hunting applications. This premium 308 Winchester load combines Federal's consistent propellant charges with Barnes' proven copper construction for reliable expansion and deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
Barnes LRX bullets feature a solid copper construction with precision-machined grooves that reduce barrel fouling while maintaining accuracy across extended shooting sessions. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, making this load effective at extended ranges where traditional bullets may fail to expand. Federal's quality control ensures consistent velocities and tight groups that competitive shooters and hunters demand.
