A 300 Winchester Magnum costs real money to feed, so many owners look for an affordable load they can practice with all summer. This listing is PPU 300 Win Mag 150 grain soft point ammo, MPN PP3001, sold as a 200 round case. The light 150 grain bullet makes it the speed option in the PPU 300 Win Mag lineup, well suited to deer and pronghorn hunters who want maximum flatness from their magnum.
PPU rates this load at 3,250 fps with 3,518 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That velocity gives a very flat trajectory for long shots across fields and open country. The soft point bullet has exposed lead at the nose that opens quickly on contact, which suits thinner skinned game. For elk or moose, most hunters step up to a heavier bullet that holds together better at magnum velocities. Because it is a hunting bullet, this round is meant for game and zero confirmation, not steel targets.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger Hawkeye, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt and A-Bolt, Tikka T3x, Sako 85, and Bergara B-14. A common question is whether 300 Win Mag can be fired in a 300 WSM or 300 PRC. No. All three use different cases and are not interchangeable. Another common question is how recoil compares between a 150 and a 180 grain load. The 150 grain bullet produces noticeably less recoil, which makes long practice sessions more comfortable.
PPU PP3001 is new production ammunition, not reloads, produced by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. Each round uses a reloadable belted brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive components. The case ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, from one lot. Buying in this quantity lets you shoot real distance during practice without the per round cost of premium magnum ammunition.
