The Sellier & Bellot .308 Winchester 168 Grain FMJ Match ammunition is engineered for target shooting, range training, and long-range precision competition disciplines. Loaded with a 168 gr (10.90 g) Full Metal Jacket Match projectile, this factory cartridge achieves an initial muzzle velocity of 800 m/s (2,625 fps) and produces 3,488 Joules of muzzle energy from a standard 600 mm test barrel. The projectile profile yields a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.475 (G7 of 0.239) for predictable exterior ballistics out to 1,000 metres. Built into reloadable brass cases fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers, each cartridge maintains an overall length of 71.10 mm with an individual round weight of 25.2 g.

Key Features

• Match-Grade Projectile: Loaded with a 168 gr precision-drawn FMJ target bullet (#8201) designed to deliver consistent exterior ballistics and shot-to-shot uniformity over bulk ammunition.
• Optimised Flight Characteristics: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.475 and an 800 m/s muzzle velocity, keeping the round supersonic past 800 metres under standard atmospheric conditions.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 308 Winchester 168 Grain Fmj Match Ammo 20 Pack for?

• Precision rifle competition shooters — requires a predictable trajectory out to 800–1,000 metres, which this .308 Winchester match ammunition provides via a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.475 and a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s stabilised by barrels with a 1:11" to 1:12" rifling twist rate.
• Target shooters and handloaders — fires factory-consistent match profiles while supplying Boxer-primed, non-corrosive reloadable brass cases measuring 71.10 mm in overall length, loaded with a 168 gr projectile for range practice and subsequent handloading cycles.

Less suitable for: Medium-to-large game hunting, because the non-expanding 168 gr FMJ bullet lacks terminal mushrooming; hunters require expanding soft-point (SP), ballistic-tipped, or hollow-point game cartridges. It is also less suitable for extreme long-range competition beyond 800–1,000 metres, where heavier 175-grain to 185-grain HPBT/OTM match cartridges better resist wind deflection through the transonic zone.
