Frequently Asked Questions
What big game is the Remington Premier Scirocco Bonded 165gr .308 Win suited for?
This load is well-suited for whitetail and mule deer, black bear, elk, and similar medium-to-large North American big game. The bonded construction and controlled expansion make it effective at both close brush ranges and longer open-country shots, offering hunters a versatile all-around big-game cartridge.
How does the bonded bullet construction affect terminal performance?
The pure copper jacket is chemically bonded to the lead core, preventing the bullet from fragmenting on impact. This means the bullet maintains structural integrity as it penetrates, retaining over 75% of its original 165-grain weight. The result is a large wound channel, reliable expansion, and deep penetration — critical for ethical, clean harvests on heavy-bodied game.
Is this ammunition compatible with semi-automatic .308 Win / 7.62×51 NATO rifles?
The .308 Winchester cartridge is dimensionally compatible with most semi-automatic platforms chambered for .308 Win, including the AR-10 and similar designs. However, always verify your specific rifle's chamber and magazine specifications before use. Note that while .308 Win and 7.62×51 NATO are closely related, they are not identical — consult your firearm's manufacturer if you are unsure of compatibility.
