For 30 Carbine ammo that runs reliably through your M1 Carbine or other platform chambered in this intermediate cartridge, PPU delivers a 110 grain full metal jacket load built for high-volume range work. The 30 Carbine cartridge was developed in 1940 as a lighter-recoiling alternative to .45 ACP for military carbines, and PPU’s load replicates original service ballistics with 2001 fps muzzle velocity and 973 ft-lbs of energy. PPU has manufactured ammunition in Užice, Serbia since 1928, supplying military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters with boxer-primed brass that stands up to repeated reloading cycles.
Load Profile
The 110 grain FMJ bullet is a non-expanding projectile designed for penetration and consistent feeding. Muzzle velocity of 2001 fps places this load in the supersonic range with minimal overpressure stress on vintage or surplus carbines. Brass cases with boxer primers allow you to reload empties for subsequent range sessions. Non-corrosive primer compounds and brass construction mean no accelerated barrel or chamber wear after shooting.
