.308 Round (Fallout: New Vegas)

The .308 round is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is the same as the Fallout 3 version and is still used by the sniper rifle and now the hunting rifle. However, the world model for the round was changed from a metal ammunition box to a cardboard box of bullets.

Weapons using this ammunition

 * Automatic rifle
 * Battle rifle
 * Christine's COS silencer rifle
 * Sniper rifle
 * Gobi Campaign scout rifle
 * Hunting rifle
 * Paciencia
 * This Machine

Ingredients
Standard .308 rounds can be crafted at a reloading bench once the player has a Repair skill of 25. A single round requires the following ingredients:
 * 1 Case, .308
 * 17 Lead
 * 5 Powder, rifle
 * 1 Primer, large rifle

In addition, Dead Money allows you to redeem 60 Sierra Madre chips for 20 .308 rounds at any Sierra Madre vending machine.

Breakdown
Breaking down a .308 round requires a Repair skill of 25, and yields:
 * 1 Case, .308
 * 15 Lead
 * 4 Powder, rifle
 * 1 Primer, large rifle

.308, armour piercing
Armour-piercing rounds are designed for punching through armour plating, and for this purpose the slug is cased in metal with a specially hardened core and a needle-like nose. Due to the high velocity and penetrative properties of the round, damage to the target is slightly reduced as it does not "mushroom". This round is suggested for snipers as the reduction in damage is nominal and is more than made up by the sneak attack critical and its armour piercing aspect gives it the ability to take down even the heaviest of armoured target with one shot

.308, JSP hand load
Jacketed, soft point ammunition is designed with a semi-jacketed harder metal coating with a soft bullet tip. It offers an evenly managed damage and penetrative power. This round will do more damage than armor piercing rounds in most situations. As of patch 1.3.0.452, these rounds now only do 1.3x damage and deteriorate the gun 50% faster than normal.

Ingredients
After taking the Hand Loader perk, .308 JSP can be crafted using:
 * 1 Case, .308
 * 19 Lead
 * 6 Powder, rifle
 * 1 Primer, large rifle

.308, hollow point
Hollow point bullets mushroom and break up on impact, causing massive trauma on fleshy, unarmored targets. However, this also means they break up when they hit things like armor plate, drastically reducing the weapon's penetrating power.

Notable locations

 * Up to 2000 rounds and a few hundred AP can be bought from Sgt. Contreras in Camp McCarran every 72 hours. This does not apply anymore if he gets incarcerated.
 * After the completion of the Dead Money add-on, the player may receive up to 20 .308 rounds (360 rounds if the player also received a complimentary voucher) from the vending machine in the abandoned Brotherhood of Steel bunker every 72 hours.
 * The NCR Rangers that appear at Camp Forlorn Hope carry several hundred .308 rounds.
 * The Arms merchant sells quite a few .308 rounds at the 188 trading post.
