Frequently asked questions

Does the SP bullet expand?

Yes. Its exposed soft point helps initiate expansion, although actual terminal performance depends on impact velocity and the target medium.

Are .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO always interchangeable?

Not automatically. Follow the firearm’s calibre markings and manufacturer instructions.

Can the impact point change when switching from a 150-grain load?

Yes. A change in bullet weight and loading can produce a significant change in point of impact.

When is S&B .308 Win SP the right choice?

This load suits hunters who prefer a conventional 180-grain soft-point bullet in .308 Winchester. It emphasises bullet weight, while its trajectory is more curved than that of a lighter loading.

Expert recommendation

Confirm the rifle’s point of impact whenever bullet weight or construction is changed. Use hunting ammunition only after its accuracy and functioning have been verified in the individual firearm.
