The drop of a .308 Winchester round at 150 yards can vary based on several factors, including bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and environmental conditions. However, a general estimate for a standard .308 load with a 168-grain bullet might show a drop of about 1.5 to 2 inches at that distance. It’s essential to consult ballistic charts specific to the ammunition you are using for more accurate information.
14ft * 22 ft = 14*22 sq ft = 308 sq ft = 308/9 = 34.2... sq yards.
The term "308" typically refers to the .308 Winchester cartridge, which has a joule rating that can vary based on the specific load and bullet weight. Generally, a .308 Winchester round can produce approximately 3,000 to 4,000 joules of energy at the muzzle, depending on the bullet's mass and velocity. This energy rating makes it a powerful cartridge suitable for various types of hunting and shooting applications.
Yes, 308 = 7.62. But the 51 part is variable. The first number is the outer diameter of the bullet. This has to be exactly correct to fit the barrel of the gun. The second number, 51, can be different, and may still work.
I've heard 1-2 inches for the .30-06, so the .308 should be that or better.
A 150 grain bullet shot from a 308 will start dropping the fraction of a second it leaves the barrel.
About 3,400 yards.
The Savage .308 rifle can typically accommodate a range of bullet grains. It is important to check the specific firearm's manual or consult with a knowledgeable gunsmith to determine the optimal bullet weight for your rifle based on factors such as barrel twist rate and intended use. Generally, bullet weights between 150 and 180 grains are commonly used in a .308 rifle.
About 3,400 yards.
The US military uses the 7.62 NATO, and not the civilian .308 Winchester cartridge. There are two common bullet weights- 150 grain, and the 174 gr M118 cartridge, used for long range.
A .308 caliber 150 grain round zeroed-in at 50 yards will have a slightly high point of impact at 50 yards due to the bullet's trajectory arc. It will then drop below the line of sight around 100-150 yards before rising again, depending on the specific load and barrel length. At longer distances, the bullet will start to lose velocity and energy, affecting its terminal ballistics.
100 meters.
7mm shoots a .284" dia. bullet. 300 win mag shoots a .308" dia bullet. The ballistics are similar, depending on the range. The 7mm bullets have higher ballistic coefficient than .308 caliber bullets of similar weight. Example: a 7mm 175 grain sierra spitzer boat tail (spbt) has a ballistic coefficient of 654 a .308 caliber 180 grain spitzer boat tail has a ballistic coefficient of 535. What that means is the 7mm bullet will lose less energy and velocity as it move down range toward the target. This is most important at longer ranges. Example: a 7mm 175 grain spbt fired from a 7mm rem mag leaves the barrel at 2900 feet per second and has 3267 foot pounds of energy. At 400 yards it has a velocity of 2354 feet per second and 2153 foot pounds of energy. a .308 cal 180 grain spbt fired from a 300 win mag leaves the barrel at 3000 feet per second and has 3597 foot pound of energy. At 400 yards it has a velocity of 2326 feet per second and 2162 foot pounds of energy. Nearly a dead heat, certainly not a significant difference in bullet performance. AT 600 yards things begin to change: 7mm rem mag, 2105 feet per second and 1721 foot pounds of energy. 300 win mag 2047 feet per second and 1642 foot pounds of energy. The ballistic advantage of the 7mm bullet continues to make gains on the .308 cal bullet out past 1000 yds. Not much difference, but an advantage for the 7mm bullets, because of the greater ballistic coefficient. One could shoot a heavier .30 caliber that had a higher ballistic coefficient, but as the weight of the bullet goes up so does the recoil. The recoil of the 300 win mag firing a 180 grain bullet is already noticeably more than the 7mm rem mag firing a 175 grain bullet.
The effective range of a .308 bullet depends on the specific load, rifle, and shooter skill, but generally ranges from 800 to 1000 yards for accurate shooting on a human-sized target. Beyond this distance, the bullet's energy and accuracy decrease significantly.
You have not given enough information to answer your question. I need to know the bullet weight and the zero distance. .............. For a 150 gr projectile with scope mounted at 1.5 in above the bore .. should be about 1.5" high at 100 yd, zero at 200 yd and 8 in low at 300 yd Norma factory loaded ammunition. A 180 grain Oryx bullet is the only factory load available at this time. The drop at 100 yards is 0 inches. The drop at 150 yards is 1 1/2 inches. The drop at 200 yards is 4 1/2 inches and the drop at 400 yards is 16 inches according to the factory.
The .308 Winchester bullet is typically larger in diameter than the .270 Winchester bullet. The .308 has a bullet diameter of .308 inches, while the .270 has a diameter of .277 inches. However, the .308 bullet generally has a heavier weight and greater case capacity, which can affect overall performance and use. Both cartridges are popular for different types of hunting and shooting applications.
