300 Win Mag – 180 Gr SP – PPU (PP3003) – 200 Rounds

For many hunters the 180 grain bullet is the reason to own a 300 Win Mag in the first place. It carries the weight needed for elk, moose, and big bears. This listing is PPU 300 Win Mag 180 grain soft point ammo, MPN PP3003, sold as a 200 round case, a practical way to keep a big game rifle supplied for practice and several seasons of hunting.

PPU rates this load at 2,905 fps with 3,373 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The heavier 180 grain soft point leaves the muzzle slower than a 150, but it holds its energy well downrange and retains more weight after expansion. That combination drives deeper into heavy muscle and bone, which is why 180 grains is a long standing choice for elk and other large game. It is expanding hunting ammunition and is not intended for match shooting or plinking.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum, such as the Winchester Model 70, Remington 700, Savage 110 and 116, Ruger Hawkeye, Browning X-Bolt, Weatherby Vanguard, Kimber Hunter, and Tikka T3x. A common question is what twist rate works with 180 grain bullets in the 300 Win Mag. Most factory rifles use a 1 in 10 inch twist, which stabilizes 180 grain bullets well. Another common question is whether you can use a 300 Win Mag for deer. Yes, and the 180 grain load works on deer too, though it is more gun than many deer hunts require.

PPU PP3003 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. Cases are reloadable, boxer-primed belted brass, and the ammunition is non-corrosive. You receive 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, from one production lot. A single lot keeps velocity and point of impact steady, which matters at the longer distances where a magnum is often used.
