.308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO)

About In the year 1952, Winchester introduced the .308 Winchester Ammo based on the foundation of the late T65 series and the Winchesterâ€™s rifle were immediately chambered for the new cartridge. When it comes to short action and hunting big game, .308 Winchester Ammo has earned quite a strong reputation ever since its release. Hunters around the world know the .308 Winchester Ammo for its power and high accuracy. While the shot taken using a .308 Winchester Ammo will have an effective range up to 1,000 yards, but the best bet of hunting your game successfully is within the range of 300-500 yards. In this range and with this bullet, you can take down medium to big games with a single bullet. Manufacturer The Winchester family is the one responsible for manufacturing the .308 Winchester Ammo, the hunting gem that hunters around the world love shooting with and take down their game with a high success rate. Uses Whether itâ€™s the season for deer or grizzly bears, the .308 Winchester Ammo will be the most suitable companion for your venture and will probably yield the most favorable results for your hunting session. Even though in North America, this cartridge is recommended to be used for whitetail deer, itâ€™s common knowledge that this full-powered and accurate bullet can bring down medium to large sized dangerous game.

.30 TC

The .30 Thompson Center, also known by its abbreviated name, .30 TC is the first headstamped cartridge developed for Thompson Center Arms by Hornady, an ammo maker in Nebraska. It was released for sale in 2007. It was initially offered in the Icon series of bolt-action rifles, which were released at the same time. It was an attempt by Thompson Center to make a 308 Winchester length round with 30-06 Springfield performance. While it did accomplish this goal, consumer acceptance was low, and the round has remained on the sidelines. The 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridge was created by necking down the .30 TC and that cartridge has achieved widespread popularity. The .30 TC is a non-magnum that is somewhat shorter and wider looking compared to the .308 and .30-06. However, while in a gun, all three weigh roughly the same but the .30 TC produces less recoil. The case length of the .30 TC is 1.92 inches. Although it is somewhat shorter than the .308, the .30 TC still manages to cast a 150-grain SST bullet downrange that is nearly 200 fps faster. The .30 TC can even outshoot the 150-grain SST faster than the .30-06 case, which is also longer in size compared to the .30 TC (2.494 inches). The .30 TC has a performance delivery equivalent to the .30-06. The cartridge is approximately an inch shorter if one uses Hornady's Superformance ammo. When loaded with the 165-grain SST bullets, the .30 TC has a fifty fps advantage over the .30-06, which has a velocity of 2,850 fps. The .30 TC delivers energy and speed that equals to, or tops the .30-06 as a smaller cartridge. Trends in ammunition has changed over time to be shorter and wider than previous cartridges. It has been understood that gunpowder burns more efficiently in shorter casings that have a wide diameter.
