308 Win – 180 Gr SP – PPU (PP3083) – 200 Rounds

This .308 Winchester load (PP3083) gives big game hunters a heavier soft point that favors deep penetration and dependable impact energy. PPU loads it with a 180 grain soft point bullet. That weight matters. It carries more momentum than lighter .308 hunting loads. As a result, it drives well through muscle and bone while still expanding on contact. Therefore, it fits hunters who want a traditional hunting bullet with proven field behavior on larger-bodied game. Multiple listings for this exact SKU classify it for hunting or large game use.

PPU rates this load at 2,545 fps muzzle velocity and 2,589 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Those numbers put it squarely in the heavier .308 hunting category. In addition, the soft point design gives the bullet a straightforward job. It starts expansion at impact. Then it keeps driving. Consequently, the round balances upset and penetration without relying on complicated projectile design. That makes it a practical option for deer, hogs, elk, and similar big game within normal .308 Winchester hunting distances.

The 180 grain bullet also changes how the cartridge behaves in the field. It does not chase maximum speed. Instead, it emphasizes weight, stability, and impact authority. So, hunters who prefer a heavier-for-caliber .308 load will appreciate what this round offers. Recoil remains manageable in most bolt-action and semi-automatic .308 rifles. Moreover, the cartridge keeps the familiar strengths of the .308 platform. It is widely available. It performs across a broad range of hunting rifles. And it delivers serious terminal effect without moving into magnum recoil territory. That combination gives hunters confidence when they need a load that hits hard and stays practical. The listed ballistic coefficient is around 0.413 to 0.418, which also supports respectable downrange stability for a conventional soft point hunting load.

Packaging is simple and useful. Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, for a total of 200 rounds. That format works well for sight-in work, seasonal practice, and keeping a serious hunting reserve on hand. You can open only what you need and leave the rest sealed. PPU also loads this ammunition in brass cases with Boxer primers, and retailers describe it as non-corrosive and reloadable. That adds long-term value for buyers who save brass. Altogether, this case gives the buyer a traditional .308 big game load in a volume that supports real use, not just one trip into the field.
