I've used the the 100gr ppu, only on goats though. In my experience it didn't kill with any kind of authority, as with a couple of other 100gr sp brands, so I never bothered using it on deer. The...

I thought I’d share my experience with a BLR 81 Takedown .308 I’m nearly 60, but still quite good with scoped rifles, but all the rifles I have are not ideal bush stalkers, so I thought I’d change...

A mate brought a few box's PPU for his Tikka .243. Couldn't close the bolt on them. Tried them in my Howa, worked just fine. Might have been a one off but might pay to try a few before you bulk buy....

PPU in the 100gr drops deer pretty easily, you do know serbia has recently banned the export of arms/ammunition ie. ppu, so its probably not going to be easy to get once current supplies dry up. I...

I used to use the S&B 100gr in my old Howa .243. it would shoot 5 rounds into an inch or so at 100m and found them to work well enough on all size of critters, within reason. I mainly used it on...

S&B brass in .308 absolutely sucked to reload..was harder than the hobbs of hell. PPU is highland same rounddifferent box so keep and eye out its often in farm centres for reasonable price.

Best thing I've found that actually helps is when the scope has a hydrophobic coating, lens still gets wet but you can still see well enough to shoot.
