Rifles Descriptions
308 - 168 Grain HPBT - Sellier & Bellot Match - 20 Rounds
This 308 Win ammunition came all the way from the Czech Republic with one purpose: to punch pretty little cloverleaf patterns through very distant sheets of paper. It’s just as ready to ring gongs and pulverize varmints, too, because this ammo is match grade. Sellier & Bellot armed this round with a 168 grain hollow point boat tail. The bullet’s uniform core and jacket, narrow meplat and tapering base all contribute to its heightened rotational stability and low drag. The bullet generates so little turbulence as it pierces the air that it achieves a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.458 (G7 0.231). It carries itself along a flat trajectory as it loses only 72 percent of its velocity by the 400 yard mark. To be sure, an HPBT’s hollow point is not engineered to enhance terminal ballistics with the addition of expansion. This round’s terminal performance is effectively indistinguishable from that of an FMJ. It’s still going to dust a varmint with over 1,600 ft lbs of energy at 300 yards, though. Sellier & Bellot loads ammo like America’s best manufacturers. That means there’s no steel to be found anywhere in this nonmagnetic ammo. Its new brass case is also socketed with a non-corrosive Boxer primer.
Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294
The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
