I ran these through my brand new rifle. And it did not cycle. I thought maybe it just needed a break in period but I ran a different ammo and it cycled. Just fine, my buddy put this ammo. Through his rifle and same thing, it would not cycle consistently. Not accurate at all. Just to all around garbage

Built a super light weight DPMS style AR10. This ammo runs perfectly. Been using it to fine tune the gas system. Works great. Not shooting for accuracy yet.

I purchased the Federal .308 American Eagle 150 grain FMJ-BT to shoot in my new FN FAL rifle, and boy was I impressed because I had never tried this ammo before. I was shooting at 50 and100 yards and getting .25" to .50" groupings. Also I had some Remington Cor-Lokt with me and it was noticeable that the Federal American Eagle had more recoil than the Remington. As a final note I shot 10 rounds at 250 yds at a clump of grass the size of a basketball and hit it every time from a hilltop on a powerline. Great ammo.

I'm 82 years old and have been hunting whitetail deer since the late 1950s. I've hunted with just about every factory load available as well as my own carefully concocted handloads. This year, I bought a few boxes of Winchester Deer Season XP .308 150gr. When I sighted in my favorite Browning BAR rifle, I couldn't believe the 0.6", 100yd groups. I just double-lung shot a buck at 60yds and he dropped dead in his tracks. This is the absolute best factory load I have ever used.

I use my AR10 308 for whitetail deer hunting. I love and trust all of Hornady’s bullets for their engineering and each individual bullet style intent. Do your homework and get the right one for what game you are shooting.
