Description
Details
What was the 7.62x51mm cartridge specifically designed for? We’ll give you a hint: not varmint hunting. But does that mean the 7.62 NATO isn’t capable of braining any gopher or coyote on the American countryside? No! No small game will be beyond your reach once you’ve got a box or two of these beauties by Winchester.
This cartridge’s 135 grain projectile is actually Sierra’s fine work. It’s a hollow point; not an HPBT or OTM or other non-expanding projectile, but an HP that is engineered for rapid expansion. It’ll fragment a bit after impact as well, which only spells a worse time for whichever critter you took aim at a fraction of a second earlier.
This round’s bullet is pretty light, which means you’ll witness a flat trajectory (as well as relatively sharper wind drift, if you’re shooting on a windy day). The nonmagnetic HP is seated in a virgin brass case (reloadable), and it’s just as fit for action in a 7.62×51 rifle as it is one chambered for 308 Win
