.224 PPU Match bullets
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:28 pm
I like PPU cases. They seem to last well and I’ve found them to be fairly consistent with weight and internal H2O volume when I unscientifically messed about with some. I do not like their factory ammo as performance is “hot” and accuracy mediocre. But what about their bullets?
Was speaking to a mate about the fact that .224 SMKs aren’t far off now, what I was laying for .308 SMKs before I went 7mm and Amax. He reckoned he was using 69 and 75gn PPU Match bullets in his 1 in 8” AR. He said he’d never gone past 600 with them, but, the prformance was certainly on par with SMKs in his experience ..... Really? I thought...
So, is he a crap shot and it wouldn’t matter what he was shooting, or are they on par for half the price?
(I am using 52gn SMKs in my R700 VSSF, but got myself a straight pull after a long hiatus....)
