Re: PPU ammo any good?
I'll just add to the masses who's already replied.... PPU is great stuff - both rifle and pistol ammo. I've found it always to accurate and consistent no matter what caliber or firearm I use. I wished it was a little cheaper, but still well worth the money.

Good stuff, the wife shoots it in her .30-30 and I load up my 6.5X55 Swede and .270 Savage with it.

The PPU pistol ammo I've fired seems to be light loads. They all go bang so far.

I've yet to not have a PPU load go bang steel though I have noticed some loads are on the lighter side but their 9mm NATO and 5.56 NATO are both very good if you have anything that shoots those loads.

I’ll say it again-PPU is good stuff. If you collect obsolete military rifles such as the Carcano, Lebel or Japanese ones, they’re the only source of ammo or brass for those cartridges.

Re: PPU ammo any good?
I use a lot of PPU in both of my Mosins with great accuracy. I then reload the brass too. They make a very good product. My wife has shot it in her LCP with great results.

PPU defensive 7.62x25 HP is what my Tokarev loves to munch. Plenty power compared to some PPU revolver ammo I have.

Good stuff in my Swedes but my K98ks hate it.
Real gun control is the ability to hit the target.

My M1886M93, GEW88, GEW88/05 and Kar88 run fine on PPU. The Gews and Kar use a .318 bullet since that's what the bore slugs out to-even the one modified for the Spitzer bullet.
