Winchester Ammo WB762M147X Centerfire Rifle Reloading 7.62mm .308 147 gr Full Metal Jacket Boat-Tail (FMJBT) 100 Per Box

Winchester 7.62mm/.308 147-grain full metal jacket boat-tail bullets are precision rifle reloading components built for shooters who demand consistency and reliability in their handloads. Whether you're developing loads for target shooting, practice, or hunting applications, these FMJBT bullets deliver the controlled, predictable performance that comes from Winchester's decades of ammunition manufacturing expertise. The 147-grain weight and boat-tail design work together to support stable flight and controlled velocity, making these a solid choice for .308 Winchester and 7.62mm NATO chambers where medium-to-heavier bullet profiles excel.

The full metal jacket construction protects the lead core throughout the loading, shooting, and handling process, reducing airborne lead exposure at the range and making cleanup easier downrange. The boat-tail profile—a tapered base that reduces aerodynamic drag—helps maintain velocity and energy at distance compared to flat-base designs. For reloaders building precision rifle loads, these Winchester component bullets pair well with standard .308 powders and primers, giving you the foundation to craft ammunition tailored to your specific rifle and shooting discipline.

Winchester packages these bullets 100 per box, a practical quantity for reloaders working on mid-sized projects or testing new load recipes. Because you're starting with quality components, you can focus on the variables you control—powder charge, primer selection, and case preparation—to dial in accuracy and performance that matches your rifle's potential.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifle calibers will these Winchester bullets work with?

These 147-grain bullets are sized for 7.62mm/.308 Winchester and 7.62mm NATO chambers. Always verify bullet diameter and weight compatibility with your specific rifle and reloading manuals before loading.

Are Winchester FMJBT bullets good for hunting?

Full metal jacket bullets are designed primarily for target shooting and practice rather than hunting. Many hunting applications and jurisdictions require expanding bullets for ethical and legal reasons. Check local hunting regulations and consider bonded or expanding bullet designs if you're hunting with .308 Winchester.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 100 Winchester 147-grain bullets.

What's the advantage of a boat-tail design?

The tapered boat-tail base reduces aerodynamic drag, which helps the bullet maintain velocity and energy downrange compared to a flat-base bullet of the same weight and caliber.
