Frequently asked questions

What does HPC mean?

HPC means Hollow Point Capped. Its copper cap protects the nose and helps initiate expansion on impact.

Is HPC the same as a conventional hollow-point target bullet?

No. This is an expanding hunting bullet, not a non-expanding HPBT match projectile.

Will its point of impact match an SPCE load?

Not necessarily. Its different profile and ballistic coefficient can change both trajectory and point of impact.

Recommended products

• .308 Win SPCE 11.7 g ammunition

• .308 Win SP 11.7 g ammunition

• Lighter .308 Winchester hunting loads

• Riflescopes and mounting systems

• Rifle-cleaning equipment

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

HPC suits hunters seeking a 180-grain .308 Winchester bullet with a protected hollow point and strong velocity retention in the manufacturer’s data. Final selection must account for local hunting requirements.

Expert recommendation

Its external ballistics differ from SP and SPCE bullets of equal weight. Confirm the point of impact at several relevant distances before hunting.
