Prvi Partizan's 150-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket load for range work: zero checks, position drills and steel. The bullet is a plain full metal jacket with no tip or hollow point. It leaves the muzzle at 2,745 fps with 2,500 ft-lbs of energy.

Compared with Remington's UMC 150-grain FMJ, the Prvi Partizan starts 165 fps slower than the UMC's 2,910 fps and kicks about 6 percent less in the same rifle. Over a long session of prone or position practice, a new or recoil-sensitive shooter may notice that difference. Compared with Federal's American Eagle 150-grain FMJBT, the gap at the muzzle is the same: the American Eagle also starts at 2,910 fps and kicks as hard as the UMC.

Buy the Prvi Partizan if you want a 150-grain practice load with a lighter kick than the UMC or the American Eagle, for long sessions of drills or for a shooter new to the .30-06. Pick Remington's UMC 150-grain FMJ if you want the faster start; Remington sells its UMC line for target shooting and training. Pick Federal's American Eagle 150-grain FMJBT if you want the load Federal markets for target shooting and competition. For hunting, Federal's PowerShok Copper 150-grain is a copper hollow point with no lead core that Federal markets for big game; it kicks about 7 percent harder than the Prvi Partizan in the same rifle.
