The Sig Sauer E308GK16520 Marksman Hunter delivers consistent long-range performance with precision-engineered 165-grain projectiles optimized for hunting applications. This premium .308 Winchester ammunition combines match-grade components with proven ballistic design to extend effective range while maintaining terminal performance on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hunting loads that prioritize either accuracy or expansion, the Marksman Hunter series balances both characteristics through controlled bullet construction and optimized powder charges. The 165-grain projectile weight provides an ideal compromise between flat trajectory and energy retention at extended distances. Factory testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifle platforms, while the polymer-tipped design ensures reliable expansion across a wide velocity range.
Key Features
- 165-grain polymer-tipped projectile for controlled expansion and deep penetration
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
- Temperature-stable powder formulation maintains velocity across weather conditions
- Match-grade primers ensure consistent ignition and accuracy
- Ballistic coefficient optimized for long-range trajectory retention
- Factory crimped for secure bullet seating and reliable feeding
- 20-round boxes packaged in 10-box cases for bulk purchasing
Field testing shows this ammunition maintains supersonic velocity beyond 800 yards while delivering over 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at 500 yards. The polymer tip initiates expansion at impact velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making it effective for shots from 50 to 600+ yards. Hunters report clean kills on whitetail, mule deer, elk, and similar-sized game with proper shot placement. The consistent powder charge and quality control standards result in minimal velocity variation between rounds.
