Extreme Shock Ammunition: Safest Most Effective 308 Ammo

Extreme Shock Ammunition

CLINTWOOD, VA –-(AmmoLand.com)- Extreme Shock Ammunition, known for producing the world’s most advanced ammunition, has added the .308 160 grain Short Ranged Tactical (SRT) to its impressive line of hunting and tactical ammo.

The newly developed .308 160 grain SRT was engineered for modern law enforcement and military personnel who require the legendary stopping power of the .308 without suffering the over-penetration common to the heavy bullet.

Extreme Shock 308 Ammo

The SRT allows entry teams to utilize M-14 & AR10s as entry weapons and minimizes the liability aspects of the heavy caliber.

These lead-free rounds are frangible and will fragment on hard surfaces that might cause a lead-core bullet to ricochet. A special coated copper jacket surrounds a compressed tungsten powder core to reduce the bullet’s velocity, producing lower recoil and minimizing muzzle flash, thus allowing faster second shot placement.

The dense tungsten core allows it to penetrate less dense materials with ease, while still remaining frangible. While lead-core munitions are susceptible to over-penetration, these rounds have 745 ft. lbs. of energy combined with a 100% kinetic energy drop, making them the safest yet most lethal CQB/Training round manufactured anywhere in the world today.

The 160 grain SRT has an MSRP of $19.26 for 6 rounds or $66.05 for 20 rounds.
