300 Win Mag – 165 Gr PSP-BT – PPU (PP3002) – 200 Rounds

Magnum ammunition is expensive, which makes it hard to practice enough with a 300 Win Mag before a big hunt. This listing is PPU 300 Winchester Magnum 165 grain pointed soft point boat tail ammo, MPN PP3002, sold as a 200 round case. Prvi Partizan offers it as a value-priced hunting load that also makes it practical to put real time on the bench and at distance with your magnum. Hunters preparing for a western trip will appreciate having enough rounds to practice from field positions.

PPU rates PP3002 at 3,050 fps with 3,408 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. A 165 grain bullet is on the lighter side for the 300 Win Mag, which produces a flat trajectory and slightly less recoil than 180 or 200 grain loads. The soft point nose is designed to expand on game, and the boat tail helps the bullet hold velocity at longer ranges. It is a hunting load for deer, elk, and similar game.

It fits rifles chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum, including the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American Magnum and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and 116, Tikka T3x, Browning X-Bolt, Bergara B-14, and Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is whether 300 Win Mag and 300 WSM are interchangeable. They are not. They are separate cartridges with different case dimensions. Another common question is whether 165 grain is heavy enough for elk. Many hunters use it successfully at reasonable ranges, though some prefer 180 grain or heavier bullets for the biggest animals.

PPU PP3002 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. The case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, from one lot. That supply lets you sight in, practice at long range, and hunt with identical ammunition, and the brass is a welcome bonus for handloaders.
