Peterson 40001-R 30-06 50/10

Peterson Cartridge's 30-06 match-grade brass is built for reloaders who demand consistency shot after shot. The Peterson 40001-R 30-06 50/10 comes as unprimed brass—50 pieces per box in 10-box quantities—giving you the raw material to build ammunition tailored to your rifle and load specifications. Whether you're assembling precision rifle rounds for competition, hunting, or long-range target work, Peterson's approach to manufacturing prioritizes uniformity across every case produced, which translates directly to tighter velocity spreads and more predictable ballistics downrange.

Peterson uses small-batch production methods paired with rigorous quality control, a philosophy that sets their brass apart in a market where many manufacturers churn out commodity casings. This careful approach matters when you're investing time and components into hand-loaded ammunition; inconsistent brass means inconsistent performance, and Peterson's match-grade standard is their commitment to minimize that variability. 30-06 brass is one of the most versatile rifle cartridge platforms in North America, used by hunters and shooters across countless applications, and starting with quality Peterson cases gives you a reliable foundation.

If you're new to reloading or building up a supply for ongoing projects, the 50/10 format is convenient for storage and workflow. For shooters already familiar with Peterson brass or looking to upgrade from generic range brass, this is a straightforward choice that focuses on what matters: consistent, durable casings that perform predictably when you reload them to your specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is unprimed brass and do I need to prime it myself?

Unprimed brass is the case body only—no primer pocket is installed. You'll need to seat a primer (appropriate to your cartridge and load plan) as part of the reloading process. This gives you full control over your ammunition specifications.

Why does Peterson brass matter for my reloads?

Peterson manufactures in small batches with quality control focus, which produces casings with tighter tolerances and more uniform wall thickness, capacity, and hardness. This consistency translates to lower velocity variation and better accuracy, which is especially valuable for precision or competition loading.

What is the 50/10 format?

The 50/10 designation means 50 individual pieces of brass per box, packaged in a unit of 10 boxes—totaling 500 pieces. This is a convenient format for larger reloading projects or for keeping supply on hand.

Is this brass suitable for hunting and match ammunition?

Peterson 30-06 brass works for both hunting and precision-target applications. Its match-grade consistency benefits any reload where consistent performance matters, whether you're building for a rifle hunt or a range session.
