PMC Bronze .308 Win 147gr FMJ BT Ammo Ballistics
Brass Case • FMJBT
Solved from this product's advertised 2780 fps, 147gr bullet and G1 BC 0.398, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .308/7.62x51mm, or read .308 Winchester: 100-Yard vs 200-Yard Zero.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
PMC's Bronze 147-grain FMJ BT is a boat-tail full metal jacket .308 load that PMC sells to target shooters and hunters. A closed nose sits ahead of a tapered base. It leaves the muzzle at 2,780 fps with 2,522 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .398.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 14.1 inches at 300 and 31.9 inches at 400. From a 200-yard zero it drops 24.3 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, PMC's own X-TAC 147-grain FMJBT is the same bullet 20 fps faster, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 31.4 inches at 400. Federal's American Eagle 150-grain carries a higher G1 BC of .408 and from that zero drops 30.6 inches at 400, a shade over an inch above this load.
- Less estimated recoil than PMC's own X-TAC 147-grain FMJBT
- A boat tail on a range bullet, where Igman's 147-grain FMJ has none
- Still moving at 1,940 fps at 400 yards
- Federal's American Eagle 150-grain starts faster on a heavier bullet
- A closed nose, so Hornady's American Whitetail 150-grain InterLock is the hunting load at this bullet weight
