168gr Nosler Hollow Point Boat Tail – Proven Long-Range Performer
The heart of this load is the Nosler 168-grain Hollow Point Boat Tail bullet, a classic choice for .308 Win precision thanks to its excellent aerodynamics and consistency. Riflenetics+3Sportsman's Warehouse+3Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore+3
Boat-tail base reduces drag and helps maintain velocity and stability at long range.
Hollow point match design focuses on precision and uniformity, not terminal expansion, making it ideal for target shooting and competition.
Carefully selected for weight and aerodynamic quality, giving it superior ability to maintain tight groups at varying distances. Liberal Tears Brand+3Sportsman's Warehouse+3Hadar Firearms+3
If you’ve shot other 168gr match loads, you’ll appreciate how familiar and reliable this profile feels in both bolt-action and semi-auto .308 rifles.
Flash-Suppressed Powder for Cleaner, More Consistent Shooting
Atomic outfits this Rifle Match .308 load with flash-suppressed powder, which offers multiple advantages for precision shooters. Riflenetics+3TLO Outdoors+3Sportsman's Warehouse+3
Helps reduce visible muzzle flash, especially valuable in low-light training or when using optics and night-vision devices.
Contributes to more consistent ignition characteristics, which supports stable velocities and tighter standard deviations.
Paired with match bullets and new brass, it creates a clean, predictable shooting experience across strings of fire.
This attention to powder selection underscores Atomic’s goal: to deliver true match-grade performance, not just another generic .308 cartridge.
New Brass Cases – Reloadable and Range-Ready
Atomic’s Match ammunition uses new, high-quality brass cases, not mixed or surplus brass. Hadar Firearms+3TLO Outdoors+3Sportsman's Warehouse+3
Consistent case capacity helps ensure uniform pressures and velocities shot to shot.
Reloadable brass gives handloaders the option to reuse brass for custom loads once the factory rounds are fired.
Quality casing is essential for reliable feeding and extraction, especially in semi-auto platforms like AR-10s and .308 gas guns.
If you reload, the combination of Nosler HPBT bullets and match-grade brass is a valuable bonus on top of the factory performance.
50-Round Boxes & 10-Box Cases – Perfect for Match Shooters
Unlike many match loads packaged 20 rounds at a time, Atomic 00426 comes in 50-round boxes with 10 boxes per case, giving you 500 rounds of consistent, same-lot ammo. Riflenetics+3TLO Outdoors+3Sportsman's Warehouse+3
This format is ideal for:
Competition shooters who burn through significant round counts for practice and match day.
Load development and zeroing, where shooting more rounds from the same lot reveals true rifle potential.
Serious training cycles, enabling you to track performance and dope without constantly changing loads.
Buying in this configuration ensures your rifle sees the same ballistic profile across extended practice and match seasons.
Sub-MOA Potential for AR-10s and Bolt Guns
