Federal Ammunition - With the current prices of central fire cartridges for rifled barrels, those who do not reload and shoot only hunting, with a few quick shots at the shooting range for the necessary checks, can always rely on the first price lines especially of the US companies where they are successful yet to combine the favorable price with a precision that is amply sufficient for a normal hunting use and functional effects of terminal ballistics. This is what we have verified in favor of those who find themselves in this situation and specifically we have chosen a good quality cartridge, of course, but included in the series that for the Federal falls within its first price range.
In the .308 Win caliber. there is a wide choice, even if at the armories an attempt is made to appropriately limit the stock by offering those charges that the hunters have selected as the most functional.
Federal .308 Win. - Features
The most used bullet in the caliber remains the 150 gr followed by the 168 gr, but having to use the binomial weapon cartridge on the buckskin we went a little further going up to a 180 gr giving confidence to the SP bullet, very normal, tested and reliable. The curve starts from the knurled groove for crimping with a decrease in the radius towards the ogive: this has a tip with a minimum surface in uncovered lead.
Federal .308 Win. - Our proof
In the shooting range we were able to verify how the accuracy is high with shot patterns in a hunting weapon equal to 0,75-0,80 MOA (22-24 mm), the trajectory is amply sufficient with calibration at 100 m and a drop at 200 equal to a dozen cm, much greater than 300 m where there is about 48 cm of lowering; of course, a reset to 200 m would bring an elevation of about 100 cm to 5 m, reducing the fall to 10 m by at least 300 cm, but we did not consider it suitable for the needs of our future hunting use.
The external appearance of the shells highlights the use of a high quality brass with accurate processing that makes them usable for more than one refill: and if you do not belong to the category of reloaders in the circle of friends someone will be there for sure and there 'gift will be very welcome.
