165-Grain .308 Razorback Hunting Bullets — Serrated Tip, Flat Bottom, 50 Count

Description

More bullet weight without giving up the Razorback’s purpose

The hunting question behind this 165-grain .308 bullet is not simply whether 165 is heavier than 150. It is whether you want the Razorback’s penetration-first design in that middleweight class. Its serrated jacket and lead-supported nose are intended to stay structurally sound through initial resistance, then deform progressively as the bullet meets more resistance.

That sequence addresses the hunter’s concern that a bullet opening too early can lose penetration before doing its intended work. The 165-grain weight gives the handloader another weight to evaluate in a .30-caliber rifle when the lighter 150-grain and heavier 180-grain classes do not answer the same load goal. The flat bottom is part of this exact bullet’s construction, not a stand-in for the terminal behavior.

When this is the better choice

Choose this Razorback if continued penetration is your leading design priority and you want to develop around 165 grains. Choose a Viper lead-tip soft point if earlier upset is the priority. Choose a Scorpion open tip if the first question is precision-focused flight. The Razorback Bullet System explains why its jacket and nose are made this way.

Gold Country hand swages these bullets in small batches, keeping the forming and inspection of the chosen jacket-and-core design close to the maker. That is a production reason for the line’s identity; final fit and field results still depend on the rifle, cartridge and impact conditions.
