308 Win – 165 Gr PSPBT – PPU (PP3082) – 200 Rounds

Want a do-it-all 308 hunting load for deer, black bear, and elk? Pick up this 200 round case of PPU PP3082 308 Winchester 165 grain pointed soft point boat tail ammo from Prvi Partizan.

The 165 grain bullet is often called the most versatile weight for the 308 Winchester. It carries more momentum than 150 grain loads for bigger animals, while shooting flatter than 180 grain loads. This PPU bullet adds two features that help at longer ranges. The pointed soft point profile improves aerodynamics, and the boat tail base reduces drag so the bullet holds velocity and resists wind drift. On impact, the exposed lead tip starts expansion while the copper jacket controls it for deep penetration. PPU rates this load at 2,675 fps and 2,621 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, more than enough for deer, hogs, black bear, and elk at sensible ranges.

The 308 Winchester is chambered in bolt actions like the Remington 700, Ruger American, Savage 110, Tikka T3x, and Winchester Model 70, and in semi-automatics like the AR-10, SIG 716, Springfield M1A, and FN FAL. The 7.62x51mm NATO and 308 Winchester are closely related, so check your rifle’s barrel markings before firing. Prvi Partizan has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928 and supplies militaries and shooters in dozens of countries, and it is one of the best values in both modern and vintage military calibers. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a 200 round case lets you zero your rifle, confirm your holdovers at 300 yards, practice from field positions, and stock up for several seasons without worrying about lot changes.

This imported ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable, which is a real advantage over old Berdan-primed surplus. Each box holds 20 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 200 round case. Store the extra boxes in a cool, dry place.
