Hornady Full Metal Jacket 30 Caliber (.308'') 150Gr Boattail 2100/Box
$439.90
The Hornady Full Metal Jacket 30 Caliber (.308") 150Gr Boattail bullet is a proven workhorse for reloaders building rifle ammunition for hunting, target shooting, and tactical applications. This bulk pack of 2100 rounds gives you a solid foundation for consistent, cost-effective handloads without the premium of specialized match or hunting bullets. The 150-grain weight strikes a practical balance—light enough for velocity and flat trajectory in .308 Winchester and similar cartridges, yet heavy enough to retain energy downrange for deer-sized game and steel targets.
FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) construction means a lead core surrounded by a copper or gilding-metal jacket, making these bullets tough, reliable, and economical. The boattail design reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient compared to flat-base alternatives, helping your handloads shoot flatter and more consistently at distance. The cannelure (the knurled ring around the bullet) helps secure the bullet in the case during seating and firing, reducing the risk of bullet runout and separation—a feature that matters when you're working with bulk volumes.
Whether you're a volume reloader stocking up for a busy season, or you're building practice rounds for the range, this bulk offering from Hornady keeps your cost per round competitive. Each bullet is precision-manufactured to Hornady's standards, so you get consistency across the 2100-count box that translates into more predictable velocities and tighter groups downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifle cartridges work with .308" 150-grain bullets?
These bullets are sized for .308" bore rifles, making them suitable for .308 Winchester, .300 Blackout, and other cartridges that accept .308" diameter projectiles. Always verify your specific rifle's chamber and twist rate before loading. When in doubt, consult published reloading manuals or a trusted reloading reference.
Can I use these FMJ bullets for hunting?
Full Metal Jacket bullets are not purpose-designed for hunting applications—they don't expand like bonded or hollow-point hunting bullets. They're best suited for target practice, training, and range work. For hunting, consider Hornady's dedicated hunting bullet lines.
Why choose boattail over flat-base bullets?
Boattail bullets have a tapered rear, which improves their ballistic coefficient and reduces drag in flight. This means flatter trajectories and better long-range stability compared to flat-base design, especially at extended distances.
How many bullets are in this box?
This is a 2100-count bulk box, making it economical for high-volume reloaders and those building large amounts of practice ammunition.
