PPU Standard .308 Winchester rifle ammunition (brand part no. PP3082) loads a 165-grain Pointed Soft Point Boat Tail (PSPBT) bullet, part of a line PPU designed specifically for big game hunting. PPU builds the Standard line around best-quality components chosen for accuracy, dependability, and effectiveness rather than cutting corners to hit a lower price point. The boat-tail base reduces drag in flight, helping the bullet retain velocity and a flatter trajectory at extended range, while the soft point tip expands reliably on impact for a clean, effective kill. For .308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO hunters chasing medium-to-large game, this rifle ammunition from PPU is built for exactly that.
