Hunters around the world know the .308 Win. as a compact and powerful round, notable for its inherent accuracy. The powder capacity of the .308 Winchester cartridge is less than the .30-06, 8×57 IS or 9.3×62, but with modern powders it delivers energy levels similar to the .30-06 round. Hunters can rely on Lapua’s .308 Win. cartridge loaded with the Mega projectile for serious hunting situations.
