PPU ammunition 6.5x57

[saswart]

Cannot find anything bad on the bullets PPU uses or what they use.

I have 2 boxes of 6.5x57 PPU 156gr. Would it better to shoot on paper and then reload or what is the experience with it on hunting? My gut says use it for practice…

I use the 139gn SP BT PPU bullet for reloading my own 6.5x57 and have every confidence in the bullet after seeing its performance on deer (and paper as well) Running it at 2800fps in my rifle.

My ammunition didn’t make it to Windhoek a few years ago. We found 1 box of 7x57 PPU in a shop.173grs . It was a bit slower than what I had been using but everything hit with that ammo died.

Hunt with them. The travel at a moderate velocity and are deadly on game.

Thanks all! Will come back later to this post and hopefully share some pics of successful hunts with these. Will be reloading some Barnes/Peregrine as well to test, maybe some comparison

I've used them on deer in 7x57 and they all died.

I have also used them on springbok, impala, warthog, oryx, kudu and blue wildebeest from my 7x57 with great success.
