Range Report Feedback on PPU .223 75gr match

[Andy T]

I am wondering if anybody has had any experience with PPU .223 75gr match through their rifles?
I shot it in BCM SS 410, and it would group between 1.5-2" MOA at 100 yards. The same rifle worked much better with Black Hills.

Not familiar with the 223 but I just bought 100 rounds of 175 gr fmj 308 match grade to be used for break-in ammo for my new DPMS SASS and after 40 shots and cleaning after every shot, the best grouping I shot was 1.5 inches.

I just bought 3 boxes yesterday to try in the Stag Nodel 6 Super Varminter, which shoots just about everything amazingly small.

The PPU 69gr held about 2MOA at 250yd Sunday last, but was still sighting in and that 2MOA includes several 1/2 MOA windage and elevation adjustments.

The rifle has done a very nearly perfect 1/2 MOA at 250 with handloads during very cursory load confirmation testing just following Sunday's Match. It gets a better scope tonight, but it looks like the load needs no major improvement.

Load is PPU brass, F/H reamed, F/L resized, 50gr Nos BT, 2.235" OAL, CCI 200, 26.5gr W748. Will e switching to BR-4, and extending OAL to SAAMI max 2.250".

There have been some tests posted around the web by 'Molon' that showed it to be pretty good, not the equivilent in accuracy of speed of stuff like Black Hills 77gr 223 loading, but not bad for a lot cheaper.

These are some tests I did. Not as controlled as Molon's test. My JP upper just loved 77gr 223 loaded Black Hill ammo. This is from a few years ago. I'd like to retest the PRVI now.
