PPU Standard Rifle .308 Win 165gr SP Ammo Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
PPU's 165-grain soft point brings European engineering to your deer rifle without emptying your wallet. At 2674 fps, this load strikes an ideal balance between velocity and bullet weight, generating a substantial 2619 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. That's more than enough steam to anchor medium game out to 300 yards, while keeping recoil manageable enough for precise shot placement.
In the field, this traditional soft point design really proves its worth. The exposed lead tip initiates reliable expansion without fragmenting like some high-tech alternatives, leading to cleaner kill shots and more recoverable meat. Tracking becomes optional when that 165-grain projectile connects with vital zones - deer drop fast when they meet this kind of terminal performance. From oak ridges to agricultural edges, this load handles the daily tasks of the serious hunter without unnecessary complexity.
Beyond the hunting fields, these rounds shine during pre-season practice sessions. The moderate recoil lets you hammer steel targets all afternoon without developing a flinch, while the soft point design provides more dramatic feedback than FMJ training rounds. And unlike premium hunting ammunition that costs nearly as much as the meat you're chasing, this PPU load lets you actually practice enough to stay proficient. When your freezer needs filling but your budget needs stretching, this ammunition delivers results without compromises.
