Rifle Setup
My setup is nothing too crazy, entry level to be accurate:
- Savage Axis II 308
- Monstrum Savage Axis Picatinny Rail
- Monstrum Cantilever 30mm Mount
- CV-Life Bipod
- Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50
This is an extremely budget friendly setup, in fact well under $1,000 for everything. However, it is capable of punching targets at distance if you play your cards right.

Pros
Precision and Reliability
The Sabre Blade Black Tip's design and manufacturing process ensure that each round offers both precision and reliability. With a velocity of 2850 FPS, shooters can expect outstanding performance, whether at the range or in a self-defense scenario. The bullet's design for maximum expansion and weight retention guarantees effectiveness upon impact.
Affordability Without Compromise
AAC makes it a point to offer this high-quality ammunition at an affordable price, ensuring that superior performance is accessible to all. This commitment means that more shooters can experience the benefits of top-tier ammunition without financial strain. Although extremely affordable for non-fmj ammo, it is also worth mentioning that AAC also offers AAC 150gr 308 FMJ Ammo with similar ballistics for getting in some additional training.
American Made Quality
Produced in Columbia, SC, the Sabre Blade Black Tip is 100% American made, supporting domestic manufacturing while adhering to the highest standards of quality. The use of AAC Brass-Boxer primed, fully reloadable casings not only speaks to the sustainability and value of this ammunition but also to its reliability and performance.

Cons
Limited Distribution
Let's be honest, this isn't really a con if you play your cards right. Save your money up and order enough that you feel comfortable. For me, I want 1,000 rounds minimum for each firearm I own. The primary limitation of the Sabre Blade Black Tip .308 is its exclusive availability through Palmetto State Armory. While PSA is renowned for its excellent customer service and quick shipping, broader distribution would make this outstanding ammunition accessible to an even wider audience. However, this exclusivity does not detract from the quality and performance that AAC delivers with this product.
Save those casings, they are reloadable!

Its design focuses on maximum impact effectiveness, combined with the precision manufacturing processes AAC is known for. While availability is limited to Palmetto State Armory, the combination of AAC's commitment to quality and PSA's reputable service ensures that this ammunition is well worth seeking out.
