Hornady 155 Steel Match 308 Ammo (Price increase to $629.95)

[Frontier Firearms]

We got word this week that the Steel Match Ammo from Hornady may not be available for much longer. The steel used in these cases is sourced from Russia and will not be coming in again. We grabbed an extra 10 cases of this, as this has been a very popular round for shooters who want match ammo at a reduced cost. This ammo has performed well out of my Savage 10TR, shooting .4" groups and shooting out to 875-900 rounds before going subsonic.​

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but are these reloadable? There's so many mixed reviews on reloading steel case I don't know???

no, it's not reloadable, but it does shoot awesome, I shoot 1,000 yards with it

Aye, thanks.

It is great if you do not intend to reload as the 168 Gr Match in a brass case would cost close to $875.00 per 500 Rounds.

New to hunting so I dont know much. Can you legally hunt with these? I know they are not made for hunting.

Ethically don't hunt with match bullets.

 

[crazieav8r]

Make sure to check local regulations but as long as it's not a full metal jacket it's ok to hunt with. Since these are hollow points should be good to go.

Match bullets are not designed for clean effective kills in an animal. They are for shooting paper. Can you kill an animal with a well placed match bullet? Of course. But that is not what they are designed for, and using them for hunting would be considered unethical.

Did all those extra cases sell out already?

 

[Frontier Firearms]

The did sell quick. We reduced the number of 250 packs so there is more cases now.

That statement always make me laugh. Reason being is that the snipers in the sandbox prefer match bullets for taking out the enemy, however the same bullet isn't good enough for game.

Yes, because Snipers don't fall under The Hague conventions..........

 

[yotawheeler]

Ummm so snipers don't fall under child abduction legislation/laws? Wow you don't say...I know it's just Wikipedia and that its open source but I couldn't find a damn thing in there about snipers...

Try 1899 and 1907, not 1980... Aka: the laws of war. I think the previous post meant "hunters don't fall under the Hague conventions"

 

[yotawheeler]

Well...insert foot into mouth now. I made a smart assed comment after doing a quick search of The Hague convention thinking I could learn something and the child abduction stuff came up.still learned something.... just made myself look like a retard before got to learn it. Thanks and sorry for the sarcasm

.......Anyways, back on topic. We found another importer that had some in stock, so we bought all they had. It came in at a higher price but only 5%.

I don't care if I wound the enemy. Much the better if he suffers a terrible agonizing wound actually.

Shooting at people and shooting at game animals are two entirely different applications.
