How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
PPU's Standard Rifle 165-grain is a boat-tail soft point .308 load, and PPU names no purpose for it. PPU lists it between a 150-grain and a 180-grain in the same line. The lead is left exposed at the nose over a jacket with a tapered base. It leaves the muzzle at 2,674 fps with 2,619 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .439.
From a 200-yard zero it drops 8.8 inches at 300 and 25.5 inches at 400, where 1,356 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's Trophy Copper 165-grain is the same bullet weight 26 fps faster on a G1 BC of .503, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 23.8 inches at 400. Federal's Power-Shok 180-grain is the heavier option and from that zero drops 29.5 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,613 ft-lbs at 300 yards, 201 more than PMC's Bronze 150-grain PSP
- About 12 percent less estimated recoil than Federal's Power-Shok 180-grain
- A G1 BC of .439 against .336 for PMC's Bronze 150-grain PSP
- Federal's Trophy Copper 165-grain holds 159 ft-lbs more at 400 yards at the same bullet weight
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
