• Bullet Type: FragmentingBullet
  • This indicates that the bullet is designed to fragment upon impact, which can contribute to effective energy transfer and stopping power, especially in hunting scenarios.
• Bullet Weight: 139 grains
  • The weight of the bullet is important for determining its performance characteristics, such as velocity, energy, and trajectory.
• Special Features:
  • Lead Free: The bullet is lead-free, which can be important in regions where lead ammunition is restricted or for those who prefer non-toxic options.
  • Boat Tail: The bullet features a boat tail design, which can improve the ballistic coefficient and overall aerodynamics for better accuracy at longer distances.
• Velocity (m/s):
  • V0 (Initial Velocity): 885 m/s
  • V100 (Velocity at 100m): 787 m/s
  • V200 (Velocity at 200m): 696 m/s

  • E200 (Energy at 200m): 2180 J
  • E300 (Energy at 300m): 1680 J
• Wind Drift:
  • 100m: 27 mm
  • 200m: 116 mm
  • 300m: 277 mm
• .308 Winchester Overview:
  • Introduced by Winchester in 1952 as the civilian counterpart of the 7.62x51mm NATO.
  • Designed to be more compact with a quicker cycle rate than the .30-06, enabling soldiers to carry more rounds.
  • Known for excellent accuracy potential and is favored by target shooters.
  • Fits into short bolt actions and delivers almost the same energy as the .30-06 with medium weight bullets.
  • Popular worldwide, but some hunters may find it too light for the largest species like big bears.
  • Not entirely identical to the 7.62 NATO in all dimensions due to differences in tolerances.

It’s essential to note that the choice of ammunition depends on the specific hunting application, regulations in the region, and personal preferences. The Norma EVOSTRIKE .308 Winchester 139gr ammunition appears to be well-suited for hunting, offering features such as lead-free construction, a fragmenting bullet, and a boat tail design for enhanced performance. Always adhere to local laws and regulations when selecting and using ammunition.
