Anyone load with PPU Match Bullets?

Thanks for the replies guys.

I guess they're worth a try then next time I do some loading for the .223.

I'll let you all know how I get on!

Cheers

The only bullet I have used during my FTR time that came anything close to what I would consider match consistent was the Optimus HBC .308 155. A fantastic bullet and still relatively cheap compared with the Bergers and SMKs. My rifle just liked them.

Thankfully with CSR the chances of missing a target are far greater as a result of poor shooting than non BR quality ammo. The top people regularly win with either SS109 or Factory ammo, so for hand loading the basic PPU HPBT and hand weighed/tailored load has an edge almost by default dependant on suitability of any factory ammo to any rifle.

The prices are creeping up but it is still more economical and often better to hand load for an AR if you can.
