Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hornady 168 gr BTHP suitable for hunting, or is it strictly a match round?
The 168 gr BTHP is primarily a match and target shooting projectile optimized for accuracy and consistency. While it performs exceptionally at the range and in competition, many states restrict the use of hollow point bullets for hunting. For big game hunting, Hornady offers purpose-built hunting loads such as the SST or InterLock lines. Always check your local hunting regulations before using this ammunition in the field.
Will this ammunition function reliably in semi-automatic rifles like the AR-10 or M1A?
Yes. Hornady loads this .308 Win ammunition to SAAMI specifications with consistent overall length and pressure curves designed to cycle reliably in semi-automatic platforms including the AR-10, M1A, SR-25, and similar .308/7.62x51 compatible rifles. As always, verify your rifle's chamber is rated for .308 Winchester commercial pressure before use.
How does the 168 gr BTHP perform at extended ranges beyond 500 yards?
The 168-grain BTHP is widely regarded as an outstanding choice for distances out to approximately 800 yards. With a ballistic coefficient near 0.475 (G1), it resists wind drift well and maintains supersonic flight through most long-range scenarios. Beyond 900 yards, the bullet approaches the transonic threshold where stability can become less predictable — for extreme long-range work past 1,000 yards, Hornady's heavier ELD-Match offerings in .308 Win may offer additional stability.
