The Hornady Black 308 Winchester 168-grain A-MAX delivers match-grade accuracy with tactical reliability for precision shooters. This premium ammunition combines Hornady's proven A-MAX projectile with optimized powder charges for consistent performance across multiple platforms. Engineered for both bolt-action precision rifles and semi-automatic platforms, these rounds excel in competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The A-MAX bullet design features a polymer tip that initiates controlled expansion while maintaining ballistic coefficient advantages over traditional hollow points. Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powders, these rounds produce consistent velocities across weather conditions. The brass cases undergo multiple quality inspections and precise neck tension control ensures uniform bullet seating and optimal accuracy potential.
