Just a check before I fire some of these damn things

[Pesty]

Thanks guys.

Yes I've read as such about the ppu since. I was just buying bits and bobs while I was waiting for the license. These came up on the forum and seemed a bargain... Guess I know why. I might try grouping them by weight

I'll ditch the crimping one less action more time for other things. Might stop by somewhere today and pick some other bullets up I have some new lapua brass don't want to waste it. Then again I have 500 of the bloody things so I'm gonna have to shoot them sometime.

Although as the rifle is guaranteed under 1moa if I use the ppu I'll have an excuse when I can't shoot for s***.

I use the Lee factory crimp on all my rifle ammunition and find it does give a slight improvement (but maybe that's just me being more confident when I shoot!), it's not a roll or taper crimp just a slight segmented straight crimp.

For my tube fed Henry 44 under-levers I use the pistol carbide factory crimp which gives a roll over into the cannelure.

N140 is ideally too fast for 175gr bullets 150 would be better suited and less likely to give early pressure signs
I was using N140 with 165gr for a few years and tried N150 and got the desired FPS without pressure signs obtained when using N140 for the same FPS

I beg to differ. I use N140 very successfully with 175gn Sierra Match Kings and N550 with heavier bullets (185gn Bergers).

N140 works for me.

N140 is fine behind the Egyptian 180gr bullets I've been using

Must be just me then
