Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for semi-automatic rifles like the SR-25 or DPMS .308?
Yes. SIG SAUER Elite Match Grade .308 Win OTM is compatible with both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms chambered in .308 Winchester, including popular rifles like the SR-25, DPMS G2, and SAINT Edge variants. Always verify your specific firearm's compatibility with 168-grain OTM loads, as some gas systems may require tuning for optimal cycling with heavier match bullets.
What makes Open Tip Match (OTM) different from hollow point or FMJ bullets?
Open Tip Match bullets are designed primarily for accuracy, not expansion. The open tip is a byproduct of the bullet-making process that results in a more consistent, uniform base — which is the critical factor in long-range precision. Unlike hollow points engineered for terminal expansion, OTM rounds are optimized for tight groups at extended distances, making them the standard choice in precision rifle competition.
How does the 168-grain .308 perform at long range compared to lighter loads?
The 168-grain OTM has long been considered the gold standard for .308 Winchester precision shooting out to 800–1,000 yards. Its higher ballistic coefficient compared to lighter bullets (e.g., 147-grain FMJ) helps it resist wind drift and retain velocity downrange. It strikes an ideal balance between muzzle velocity, energy retention, and accuracy — which is why it remains the most widely used load in .308 competition and tactical precision shooting.
