PPU M2 Ball .30-06 Springfield ammunition (part no. PP3006GMC) loads a 150-grain full metal jacket bullet at 2745 fps, built to the pressure curve that keeps M1 Garand rifles running safely without beating up the op-rod. PPU manufactures its Garand-pattern .30-06 to the specifications collectors and shooters demand for a rifle that is unforgiving of ammunition loaded outside its original design window. Packaged as a full 500-round case, this load is built for the shooter who runs a Garand often enough that a single box would not last a range trip. In rifle ammunition for M1 Garand owners, this is the ammunition built specifically for that rifle.
