The SAKO PowerHead Blade 308 Winchester ammunition delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for reliable hunting performance. This 162-grain load combines SAKO's precision manufacturing with advanced bullet design to maximize terminal effectiveness on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The PowerHead Blade features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while the bonded core construction maintains weight retention through tough hide and bone. Unlike standard hunting rounds that may fragment or fail to expand consistently, this ammunition provides predictable terminal performance across varying impact velocities. The 162-grain bullet weight offers an optimal balance of flat trajectory and knockdown power for 308 Winchester applications.
Key Features
- 162-grain bonded core bullet with polymer tip for controlled expansion
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities and accuracy
- Premium brass cases with reliable primer ignition
- Designed for medium to large game hunting applications
- 20 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions
- Compatible with all 308 Winchester chambered rifles
- Manufactured to SAKO's strict quality control standards
Field testing demonstrates this ammunition's ability to deliver consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in most hunting rifles while maintaining reliable expansion at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The 162-grain bullet weight provides sufficient energy retention for ethical harvests on deer, elk, and similar-sized game. Weather-resistant powder and primers ensure reliable ignition in various hunting conditions, from cold morning sits to humid afternoon stalks.
