Unmatched Long-Range Accuracy and Flat Trajectory

The 168-grain .308 T-REX delivers exceptional long-range performance, with a velocity of 2,600 feet per second (FPS) and an energy output of 2,522 foot-pounds (ft/lbs). Its polymer-tipped, solid copper design minimizes drag, ensuring a flat trajectory that allows hunters to maintain accuracy even at extended distances.

Whether targeting big game like elk, moose, or pronghorn, hunters can count on the T-REX to deliver consistent, on-target results.

“Precision is everything when it comes to big game hunting, and our 168-grain T-REX offers a flat trajectory that makes long-range shots more manageable,” said a spokesperson for HOP Munitions. “It’s ideal for hunting large game across diverse North American terrains.”

Deep Penetration and Terminal Performance for Big Game

Built for tough, dangerous game, the .308 T-REX’s solid copper construction ensures deep penetration and rapid expansion upon impact. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, which may suffer from jacket-core separation, the T-REX retains its integrity even when passing through dense muscle, bone, or thick hide, delivering the energy required to reach vital organs. This makes it the perfect choice for hunting large game such as elk, bear, and wild hogs.

“The solid copper construction and rapid-expanding tip are game-changers for hunters facing challenging conditions,” added the spokesperson. “When you need reliable performance that doesn’t compromise, the T-REX delivers.”

Manageable Recoil for Improved Shootability

Despite its power, the 168-grain .308 T-REX offers manageable recoil, allowing hunters to maintain control and accuracy.

This balance makes it easier to take follow-up shots when needed without sacrificing performance. The round’s design ensures that shooters can spend long hours in the field without suffering from excessive shoulder fatigue.

Tactical Applications and Versatility

In addition to its hunting capabilities, the 168-grain .308 T-REX shines in tactical situations. The round is engineered for barrier penetration, retaining its structural integrity while passing through obstacles such as doors, windows, or even light vehicle materials. Its precision and stopping power make it an ideal choice for SWAT teams and law enforcement units.

“The tipped rapid-expanding (T-REX) design has shown great results in tactical testing,” said Ryan Patete, owner of Rifle & Pistol Defense Training. “I’ve tested it out to 550 yards with impressive accuracy, and it holds up even when penetrating tough barriers. It’s a reliable choice for both tactical professionals and big game hunters.”
