PMC Bronze .308 Win 147gr FMJ BT Ammo Specs

  • Caliber: .308/7.62x51mm
  • Casing: Brass

  • Ballistic Coefficient: 0.398

Why Buy PMC Bronze .308 Win 147gr FMJ BT Ammo

PMC Bronze .308 Win 147gr FMJ-BT ammo is engineered for high-volume target practice and training. The full metal jacket boat tail design promotes consistent feeding in semi-automatic rifles while minimizing barrel fouling during extended shooting sessions. With a muzzle velocity of 2780 fps, this load offers a balance of power and manageable recoil, suitable for rapid follow-up shots and maintaining accuracy during prolonged range time.

The 147-grain projectile weight is slightly lighter than typical .308 Win loads, contributing to reduced felt recoil without sacrificing downrange performance. Its ballistic coefficient of 0.398 helps maintain velocity and resist wind drift, making it suitable for mid-range target engagement. The boat tail design further enhances long-range stability, allowing shooters to stretch their skills at distance without breaking the bank.

Pros

  • Boat tail design improves long-range stability
  • Lighter bullet weight reduces felt recoil
  • FMJ design for reliable feeding and reduced barrel fouling

Cons

  • FMJ not a good choice for hunting
  • Lower muzzle energy compared to heavier loads
  • May not match consistency of match-grade ammunition

Similar Products Compared

Compared to Federal American Eagle .308 Win 150gr FMJ-BT, PMC's offering has a slightly lower muzzle velocity (2780 fps vs 2820 fps) and energy (2522 ft-lbs vs 2648 ft-lbs). The Federal load's marginally higher ballistic coefficient (0.408 vs 0.398) suggests slightly better downrange performance. However, PMC's lighter bullet may offer a recoil advantage, potentially allowing for faster follow-up shots and reduced fatigue during high-volume sessions.

When stacked against Fiocchi .308 Win 150gr FMJBT, the PMC load lags in muzzle velocity (2780 fps vs 2890 fps) and energy (2522 ft-lbs vs 2781 ft-lbs). Both loads share the same ballistic coefficient of 0.398, suggesting similar wind drift and velocity retention downrange. The Fiocchi load's higher velocity may provide a flatter trajectory, but at the cost of increased recoil compared to the PMC offering. Shooters prioritizing recoil management may find the PMC load more suitable for extended range sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PMC Bronze .308 Win 147gr FMJ BT perform in terms of accuracy compared to match-grade ammunition?

While PMC Bronze is primarily designed for practice and training, many shooters report respectable accuracy. Typically, you can expect 1.5-2 MOA groups at 100 yards from an average rifle. This is suitable for most practical shooting scenarios, though it may not match the sub-MOA performance of premium match-grade loads. Factors like rifle quality, barrel condition, and shooter skill will also influence actual results.

Can this ammunition be used reliably in older .308 Win bolt-action hunting rifles?

Yes, PMC Bronze .308 Win 147gr FMJ BT can be safely used in older .308 Win bolt-action hunting rifles. It's loaded to SAAMI specifications, which are compatible with all standard .308 Winchester chambers. The relatively light recoil may actually be beneficial for older rifles or shooters sensitive to recoil. However, be aware that the FMJ bullet is not suitable for hunting in most jurisdictions.

How does the brass quality of PMC Bronze compare to other brands for reloading purposes?

PMC Bronze brass is generally considered good quality for reloading, especially given its price point. Reloaders report getting multiple reloads from PMC brass with proper care. The brass is known for consistent wall thickness and primer pocket dimensions. However, it may not be as thick or durable as some premium brands. As with all range brass, inspect each case carefully before reloading and start with conservative load data.
