Anyone use PPU Ammunition ?

[Charlieh]

my .25-06 is a T3 but has a shortened barrel so that may not be helping, but i have found winchester and remington the best through mine, and to be honest the winchesters are about £1.90 a shot but i may use 20 on a range day, so just under £40's worth and then probably that again through a season. so not huge amounts of cost for me.

 

for the cost of £1 saving in a bullet for a deer carcase i cant see the point in cheap ammo unless your working for DCS I like to have a deer rifle that shoots consistantly in any conditions sub 1.5" groups any more than that and there are getting to many variables, but a lot of my shooting isnt woodlands its open ground. How many rounds a year are you using?

[Pat Ferrett]

Well over 2000 rounds last year through the rifles I own

I wont use them if they arnt consistant in the .243 but the company produce most calibers of ammo so if they're good then I could save quite a few quid over a year

[Sam Thompson]

Just to stir the pot a bit The likes of Fed/Remmy/RWS/Lapua/Sake have lots of problems. I stopped using Federal for anything after three rounds from two batches had no powder in. One of the cost me a cracking staggie too

[treedave]

it seems they shoot well in Tikka's and Sako's which suits me .

 

Not sure on that, my sako 308 got inconsistent groups with PPU 150gr, but hornady sst are sub 1/2" @ 100yds. Will try PPU in the new 243 when it turns up.

The cases reload nicely so not a waste even if they don't group.

its what works well in your rifle, if it shoots use it. as has been said before try homeloading, especialy with the amount of lead your putting down the barrel

My mate John use Partizan ammo in his 6.5

 

He can't load them cheaper and they produce very satisfactory results.

Brought some .22's for my ruger the other day, shocked how much they had gone up in price. I know they cost a few quid but i use remington 75grain v-max in my sako 75 .243, they are the best rounds i've ever used !

[Pat Ferrett]

Got 5 Remington 75 gr accutip boat tail left from the 100 I bought a while back, rang round for some more and the cheapest price was £34 a box.

[Riggerbear]

Ouch ! They have gone up aswell then, looks like i'm in for a shock again.

[Pat Ferrett]

.17 mach 2 are roughly the same price now as they were 4 years ago 14p ish a shot But HMR has gone from 18p to 28p a pop. Thats an extra £5 a box

 

Heard on here that its nearly as cheap to reload 22-250 that buy Hmr which sounds tempting if true
