Common questions
How much is 308 ammo in Australia?
At Magnum Sports .308 Winchester starts at $20 for Sellier & Bellot FMJ and $30 for PMC 150gr soft point; mainstream hunting loads such as Federal Power-Shok ($52), Winchester Power Point ($58) and Remington Core-Lokt Tipped ($88 to $104) sit in the middle; premium Hornady SST, Berger and Barnes loads are $90 to $133 a box of 20 (September 2026).
What is the best 308 load for deer in Australia?
A 150 to 165 grain bonded or tipped soft point: Federal Power-Shok 150gr for the budget, Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 150 or 165gr, Hornady SST 150gr or Nosler Whitetail 165gr for fallow, red and rusa; step up to 180gr Core-Lokt Tipped or Hornady SST 180gr for sambar. For pigs any of the 150gr soft points is fine.
Do I need a licence to buy 308 ammunition?
Yes. In NSW ammunition can only be sold to the holder of a licence or permit for a firearm in that calibre, so a Category B or higher licence is needed for .308. Bring it to the counter when you collect.
What 308 ammo is best for target shooting?
Norma Golden Target 155gr ($77), the ADI 155gr Sierra MatchKing (Australian-made and used by fullbore clubs) and Sierra 135gr HP for practice. For high-volume range days the Sellier & Bellot FMJ at $20 and the Hornady American Gunner can at $799 for 250 rounds are the cheapest per shot.
Can you ship 308 ammo interstate?
No. All ammunition, including .308, is collection from the store at Roseville Chase only; we do not post or courier it anywhere. Order online to have it put aside and bring your licence when you pick it up.
