Speer Boat Tail Rifle Bullets .30 cal .308" 180 gr SBTSP 100/ct
$33.68
The Speer Boat Tail Rifle Bullets .30 cal .308" 180 gr SBTSP are a trusted choice for reloaders who demand consistent, accurate ammunition. Speer's seven decades of manufacturing experience show in every round: these .30-caliber boat tail soft points come packaged 100 per box and are built to deliver reliable performance whether you're handloading for hunting, competition, or precision rifle practice. The boat tail design and soft point construction offer the aerodynamic profile and terminal performance that serious rifle shooters depend on.
These .308" diameter, 180-grain bullets represent a proven middle ground in weight for .30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester, and other .30-caliber cartridges. The boat tail profile improves ballistic coefficient, helping rounds maintain velocity and energy downrange—a real advantage when you're dialing in loads for hunting at distance or testing loads at the range. Speer's traditional jacketed construction is consistent enough to make load development predictable, letting you focus on refining your handload rather than chasing variables.
Reloaders who prioritize uniformity and repeatability will find these bullets integrate well into a structured handloading workflow. The soft point jacket ensures predictable expansion while maintaining the structural integrity reloaders expect from a quality component. At 180 grains, they're versatile enough to work across a range of powders and primers, giving you flexibility as you develop your ideal load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers and cartridges are these .308" 180 gr bullets suitable for?
These .30-caliber bullets are designed for .30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester, and other .30-caliber rifle cartridges. Always consult published handloading data for your specific cartridge before developing loads.
Are Speer boat tail soft point bullets suitable for hunting?
Yes. The soft point design is intended for hunting applications, and the boat tail profile helps maintain energy and velocity to distance, making them effective for medium to larger game hunting scenarios.
What does the boat tail design do?
The boat tail profile reduces aerodynamic drag, improving the bullet's ballistic coefficient. This helps the bullet retain velocity and energy downrange, which translates to flatter trajectories and better performance at distance.
