For range sessions and load development, the PPU 30-06 Springfield 180-grain jacketed soft point delivers consistent velocity and reloadable brass at a price that supports volume shooting. The 30-06 Springfield cartridge remains one of the most versatile rifle rounds in American shooting history — capable of taking game from whitetail to elk, punching paper at 600 yards, and serving military roles for over a century. This load pushes a 180-grain JSP bullet to 2700 feet per second, generating 2913 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle.
Built for the Box
Prvi Partizan has manufactured centerfire ammunition in Serbia since 1928, supplying European military contracts and exporting to commercial markets worldwide. The jacketed soft point bullet features a lead core encased in a copper-alloy jacket, with an exposed lead tip designed to expand on impact. While marketed for range and target use, the JSP design provides controlled expansion suitable for medium game within effective ranges. Brass cases wear Boxer primers, making them ideal for handloaders who want to capture once-fired 30-06 brass for reloading projects.

At 2700 fps, this load runs supersonic across practical rifle distances. Expect standard 30-06 chamber pressures and recoil impulse similar to M2 ball or other 180-grain commercial loads. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources. For 30-06 ammo options, we stock JSP, FMJ, and hunting-specific bullets across grain weights from 150 to 220.
