Description
PPU makes solid ammunition for hunting, and this .30-30 Winchester load carries on that reputation with 170 grain flat soft point bullets built for practical field performance. The 170 grain weight delivers deep penetration while maintaining enough velocity for predictable expansion on game animals at typical hunting ranges. This is the weight that's defined the .30-30 for generations of hunters, and there's a reason it stays popular.
PPU .30-30 Winchester Built for Hunting
This ammunition comes loaded in brass cases with boxer primers, so the empties are reloadable if you want to work up your own loads later. PPU manufactures these rounds to strict quality standards, focusing on consistent feeding through tubular magazines and reliable ignition shot after shot. The non-corrosive primers mean you can shoot without worrying about cleaning delays.
Flat Soft Point Design for Medium Game
The flat soft point bullet design creates a soft lead nose that expands predictably upon impact while the heavier construction provides the penetration you need for bigger deer or similar-sized game. That combination of expansion and penetration is what made soft point ammunition the standard for .30-30 hunting over the decades. You get twenty rounds per box, enough to sight in and hunt without needing cases.
Since 1928, PPU has been producing ammunition in Serbia, working with quality components to deliver ammunition that just works. The muzzle velocity sits around 2182 fps with roughly 1797 foot-pounds of energy, putting this load right in the pocket for what .30-30 rifles deliver best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PPU .30-30 Winchester 170 grain ammo suitable for hunting deer?
Yes, the 170 grain soft point is a proven choice for deer hunting. The flat soft point design creates controlled expansion on impact while the heavier bullet provides good penetration for medium-sized game. This weight has been the standard for .30-30 deer hunting for decades and remains effective at typical hunting ranges.
Can I reload PPU .30-30 Winchester 170gr brass cases?
Yes, this ammunition uses boxer-primed brass cases that are reloadable. After firing, you can process the empties and reload them if you have reloading equipment and knowledge. This makes it a good value option for those who reload their own ammunition.
What's the difference between 150 grain and 170 grain .30-30 loads?
The 170 grain bullet delivers more penetration and is better suited for larger game or situations where deep penetration matters. The 150 grain loads shoot flatter and are more devastative to vital areas on deer-sized game. For general purpose hunting in a .30-30, the 170 grain has been the traditional choice and works well for a range of game sizes.
Does PPU use non-corrosive primers in this ammunition?
Yes, PPU uses non-corrosive boxer primers in this .30-30 load. This means you can take your time cleaning your rifle after shooting without worrying about corrosion damage from corrosive salts in the primers.
