Manufacturer: Remington The Most Lethal Big-Game Ammunition Ever Devised.
With velocities up to 200 fps faster than standard loads, HyperSonic® Rifle Bonded delivers more than just laser-flat trajectories and higher downrange energies. It zips through hide, meat and bone with unrivaled devastation thanks to today’s most advanced bonded bullet design, Core-Lokt® Ultra Bonded®. Remington engineers started with a proprietary blend of propellants to achieve the boost in speed, then went to work to find the perfect lethal match, testing loads with every possible bullet design on ballistic gel, simulated bone, actual big-game carcasses and other mediums we can’t reveal. When the smoke and the chunks cleared, the combination that dominated in terminal performance and accuracy is the best deer cartridge you see here. No other high-velocity load on the market can measure up, and you’ll only get it from the R&D masterminds at Remington.

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
