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.
- Traditional soft point design penetrates brush effectively while maintaining reliable expansion
- Balanced velocity sweet spot reduces wear on hunting rifles while delivering consistent terminal performance
- No-frills construction keeps costs down without sacrificing core hunting functionality
- Middle-weight 165-grain bullet offers practical compromise between recoil and downrange energy
- Basic bullet design shows more drift in challenging wind conditions compared to premium options
- Exposed lead tip more vulnerable to feeding damage than polymer-tipped alternatives
- Standard soft point construction limits long-range performance past 300 yards
