PPU Metric Rifle 7.5×54 French ammunition (part no. PP7F) loads a 139-grain full metal jacket bullet for owners of the foreign military surplus rifles that have entered the U.S. market since World War II. PPU builds its Metric Rifle line specifically to accommodate the large assortment of foreign military and commercial firearms that do not fit neatly into American cartridge families, and 7.5×54 French is a prime example, feeding rifles like the MAS-36 and MAS-49 that surplus collectors and shooters continue to run. The FMJ bullet feeds reliably without expanding, matching the mil-spec ballistics these rifles were originally designed around. Twenty rounds to the box in brass cases, this is rifle ammunition built for a caliber American factories rarely touch.
