PPU 30 Carbine ammo in 110 grain jacketed soft point delivers controlled expansion at 2001 fps from the muzzle, generating 976 foot-pounds of energy. The 30 Carbine cartridge was adopted by the U.S. military in 1940 for the M1 Carbine and remains a practical range and plinking round for lever-action rifles and historical semi-automatics. PPU (Prvi Partizan) has manufactured this cartridge since 1928 in Serbia, supplying both military and civilian markets with reliable, Boxer-primed brass that supports handloading.
Built for the Box
Each 110-grain jacketed soft point features a soft lead exposed nose designed to mushroom on impact, creating uniform expansion in soft tissue or ballistic gel. The brass case is Boxer-primed and non-corrosive, allowing multiple reload cycles when paired with appropriate dies and trim gauges. Muzzle velocity of 2001 feet per second keeps the round supersonic out to typical carbine engagement ranges, and the 976 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle falls within the 30 Carbine’s historical performance envelope. Shooters running M1 Carbines, Ruger Blackhawks, or Marlin lever guns will find this load cycles reliably and delivers consistent point of impact across 50-round strings.
