22-250 round for muntjac

[Beagle boy]

A good evening all
I’ve been using federal 55gr soft noses for 2-3 years now in my tikka t3. And have been really happy with them near enough thumb nail groups at 100 yards of if I do my bit

I Went into the local gun shop and they have stopped stocking the federals now due to lack of sales so I’ve bought up the last few boxes.
He has in sako 50gr, hornady 50gr v max, ppu 55gr soft noses and some 55gr winchesters. All of which are abit expensive for my likieng epically the sakos
Are the worth the extra the sakos or is it worth a punt on one box of ppu and see how they shoot

Cheers Rob

 

[Greenmist]

Does the next shop stock them?

Shoot them in the head.

If you’ve not tried PPU its worth a punt, shoot fine in my .223 Tikka. Last time i bought some they were £13 a box.

Only shop I can find that stocks them is just over and hour away.
The other two also stock sako so I might have to be a tight arse and go for those

That shot well in my howa 1500 to be fair.
Got to be worth a try hasn’t it really

 

[The Grouse]

The Sako game-heads are the only bullet I've put through my T3 which it didn't like. Less of a grouping, more of a pattern.

.270 90 yds.

 

[GWP]

The PPU where every bit as good as Federal in my howa and the bullets seemed to be a bit tougher especialy on deer

 

[Beagle boy]

.270 90 yds.

Is that with ppu’s tim?
Shot a fair few foxes with that howa and it liked the ppu’s

Hits hard doesn’t it

I have heard they are good for re loaders to be honest
I might try a box, it helps seeing as I’m a tight arse aswell I don’t need persuading to spend less lol

ppu cases lol

 

[GWP]

Forgot to mention the cases are excelent for reloading

All C/Fires hit hard, deer have thin skin soft flesh between the ribs the lungs are like a sponge and the heart not much better.
To much voodoo posted about the subject of "tough" deer. 1" hardox is tough lol

 

[Will the chippy]

I tried reloading ppu bullets and I could get better results with hornady so I use them. My mate loves the ppu in his howa.
My tikka didn't like sako sp at all, or my sako before that come to think of it.
I've shot a couple of munties with a vmax and you can chuck the front end away. Head or neck would be ok tho, is stick to a soft point.

My howa .22 250 loves the ppu, good brass if you reload too

 

[gr cz527]

My tikka T3 in 22-250 did not like PPU. Could not get a satisfactory grouping. Love my hornady vmax in 50grain. Good groups and very consistent. As said anything headshot/ neck will do.

Yeah I used to use the 55gr v max for a while. Head and neck it’s brilliant anything further back and the damage is just too much. Good rounds on foxes though

 

[Kevgun]

50 gr Vmax is all you need, just put it in the right spot
