PPU has been making quality ammunition since 1928, and this 165-grain Pointed Soft Point load shows why hunters keep coming back. It hits 2800 feet per second with 2872 foot-pounds of energy, which translates to flat trajectory and solid downrange performance. The bullet's exposed soft lead tip expands reliably on impact while the heavier jacketing and boat tail design keep things stable through the air.
The 165-grain weight is the sweet spot for a lot of hunters. You get enough speed to buck wind and cover ground, but the heavier projectile also brings more knockdown energy than lighter loads. The Pointed Soft Point design does what it's supposed to do: expand when it connects with game while penetrating deep enough to reach vitals. This isn't some exotic premium bullet, it's a straightforward hunting round that's been doing the job for decades on everything from whitetails to elk at reasonable hunting distances.
Every round comes in a new brass case with a non-corrosive Boxer primer. If you reload, you'll appreciate the quality and the consistency of PPU's brass. The cases hold up well through multiple reloadings, and plenty of hand-loaders have proven that you can wring extra accuracy and performance out of the components with the right recipes.
You get a full case option here if you're stocking up for the season. Twenty rounds per box breaks down to easy handling, and a case of 200 rounds gives you a full season's worth without worrying about resupply.
Yes, this 165-grain Pointed Soft Point is specifically designed for big game hunting. The controlled expansion and deep penetration make it effective for deer, elk, and similar game at typical hunting distances. The 2800 fps velocity keeps trajectory flat enough for field use without excessive drop out to 300 yards.
Absolutely. PPU uses quality brass cases with Boxer primers, which are ideal for reloading. Lots of shooters reload their PPU brass multiple times without issues. The consistency of the components makes it a practical choice if you're developing hunting loads.
The 165-grain runs faster (2800 fps vs 2700 fps for the 180-grain) and flies a bit flatter, which many hunters prefer for mid-range shooting. The 180-grain brings slightly more energy, but the 165 offers better velocity for wind bucking and extends your effective range by a bit. Pick based on what your rifle groups best.
No, this PPU ammo is non-corrosive with Boxer primers. Your rifle stays clean after firing, and there's no extra maintenance required compared to any other modern ammunition.
