Hornady Traditional / Fmj Bullets .30 Cal .308" 150 Gr Fmj-Bt Cann 500/Ct
Hornady Traditional 150-grain .308" FMJ-BT rifle bullets are built for reloaders who demand consistency and reliable performance downrange. This canister of 500 bullets gives you the quantity you need for serious volume loading, whether you're preparing ammunition for hunting, target practice, or the range. Each round starts with Hornady's AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jacket—engineered to tighter tolerances than conventional full metal jacket designs.
The key to these bullets' reputation is jacket quality. Hornady's manufacturing process delivers concentricity and wall thickness control that resists the deformation and jacket separation you might encounter with thin-plated alternatives. That matters when your bullet has to perform reliably through brush, barriers, or steel downrange. The full metal jacket construction and boat-tail design support consistent ballistics and velocity retention, making these a solid choice for .308 Winchester loads across hunting and accuracy applications.
If you reload .308 Winchester or 7.62×51mm NATO, these 150-grain bullets offer a proven middle ground for velocity and terminal performance. The 500-count canister packaging keeps your components organized and ready for your press.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ammunition can I reload with these .308" 150-grain bullets?
.308 Winchester (.308 WIN) is the most common application. These bullets are also compatible with 7.62×51mm NATO brass in reloading. Always consult your reloading manual for load data specific to your firearm and powder combination.
Why does Hornady's AMP jacket matter for my reload?
Tighter concentricity and more uniform wall thickness mean the bullet behaves more predictably as it travels down the barrel and downrange. This translates to better accuracy and more consistent terminal performance compared to thinner, less precisely manufactured jackets prone to deformation.
Is 500 bullets enough for a typical reloading session?
That depends on your volume. A 500-count canister is a practical bulk quantity for dedicated reloaders preparing multiple boxes of ammunition. One canister yields 500 complete rounds if you have matching brass and components on hand.
Will these work in both .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO?
These bullets are .308" diameter and can be loaded into either caliber, but always follow reloading data specific to the cartridge and rifle you're using. Load data varies between .308 Winchester and military 7.62×51mm.
