.308, Armor Piercing
Armor-piercing rounds are designed for punching through armor plating and for this purpose, they have a greatly strengthened case with a specially hardened core and shaped nose. Due to the high velocity and penetrative properties of the round, the target's DT is reduced by 15. However, due to the limited expansion of the armor-piercing round, damage to the target is reduced by 5%.

.308, Hollow Point
Hollowpoint bullets mushroom and break upon impact, causing massive trauma on fleshy, unarmored targets. However, this also means they break up when they hit armor plates, drastically reducing the weapon's penetrating power.

.308, JSP Hand Load
Jacketed, soft point ammunition is designed with a semi-jacketed harder metal coating with a soft bullet tip. It offers evenly managed damage and penetrative power. This round will do more damage than armor-piercing rounds and hollow point rounds in most situations making it the best all-round .308 ammo. Originally tagged with a 1.5x damage multiplier, as of patch 1.3.0.452 these rounds now only do 1.3x damage and deteriorate the gun 50% faster than normal. They require the Hand Loader perk to craft.

.308 Round (Junk)
A round made from refuge materials, their shoddy quality increases wear on the weapon by 1.5x and deals 25% less damage to targets.
