If you’re looking for a dual-purpose, .30-caliber load capable of defeating barriers and still bring down big-game, a new offering just debuted. The G9 Defense Barrier Blind Solid Copper Hollow Point in .308 Win attempts to deliver a wide range of capabilities.
G9 Defense Barrier Blind Solid Copper Hollow Point Ammo in .308
The 1450grain bullet provides exceptional barrier penetration, according to G9 Defense. It delivers expansion and 18 inches of penetration with nearly 100-percent weight retention. The bullet also demonstrates minimal deflection through windshields, car door or big-game animal bones, reported G9 Defense.
The .308 load utilizes a non-lead bullet, resulting in zero lead transfer to game meat. It also complies with California law, legal to use anywhere with lead bullet prohibitions.
The 145-grain bullet opens to 2-to-2.5-times the size of the bullet, producing a consistent 18-inch wound track, according to G9 Defense. The three petals open and resist folding over beyond maximum expansion during terminal impact. The CNC-machined solid copper hollow point bullet utilizes cut fracture points in the design.
G9 Defense also offers the load with Alpha Brass. The company’s Optimized Case Head Design provides elevated performance. Combined with industry-leading manufacturing standards, it delivers superior performance and consistency.

Editor’s Take:
We love dual-purpose gear around here. Shooters get more bang for their buck, and you never know what you might need in a pinch. A good .308 load isn’t anything new under the sun. But lead-free prohibitions continue to proliferate on public hunting lands. This G9 Defense load claims tremendous performance in a solid copper design. For a duty gun, this load seemingly checks all the right boxes. For a rancher or hunter, it should deliver solid performance for general purpose shooting, predator control and the occasional deer for dinner.
