30-06 Springfield – 180 Gr SP – PPU (PP30063) – 200 Rounds

Need a heavy 30-06 load for elk, black bear, or big-bodied deer? Pick up this 200 round case of PPU PP30063 30-06 Springfield 180 grain soft point ammo from Prvi Partizan.

The 180 grain bullet is the classic heavy weight for the 30-06, and it is the choice many experienced hunters make when the game gets bigger. This PPU load uses a soft point design with an exposed lead tip that starts expansion on impact, while the copper jacket controls that expansion so the bullet holds together and penetrates deeply. Heavier bullets carry more momentum, which helps them drive through heavy shoulder bones and thick muscle at awkward angles. PPU rates this load at 2,700 fps and 2,913 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That is more than enough for elk, moose at sensible ranges, black bear, and large hogs, while recoil stays manageable in a full-size hunting rifle. With a 200 yard zero, you can hold on the vitals of an elk out to roughly 250 yards.

The 30-06 Springfield has been America’s favorite big game cartridge for more than a century. It is chambered in rifles such as the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110, Tikka T3x, Browning BAR, and countless older sporters. If you shoot an M1 Garand, choose a Garand-specific load instead, since heavy hunting loads can damage its operating rod. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a 200 round case lets you confirm your zero, practice field positions, and still have plenty for several seasons. For lighter game and flatter trajectory, compare it with the 150 grain PP30061 load.

This imported ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable. Each box holds 20 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 200 round case. Store the extra boxes in a cool, dry place so they are ready for many seasons.
