I've been zeroing the .223 with ppu's 55g , and then swapping to hornday 55g , for shooting

The BC I belive is the same but the grouping are different , not a lot , but enough to wonder if I should just stick to one make , or am I missing something

As others have said you zero with what you use, zeroing with one ammo and then changing to another is never going to work 100%.

 

If the PPU work then stick with them, otherwise whatever you favour.

 

In the field I use PPU SP in my .223, .243 and .308. They all give me 1" and thats just fine for me in the field. If I want to get a bit more serious/accurate for any reason I use Home Brews which come close to single hole groups!

And just to add, the PPU stuff tends to be a very hard bullet, more suited to deer than foxes, not saying they wont kill foxes, of course they will, but there are much better fox bullets out there.

If you buy the Hornady buy A LOT. Upcoming REACH legislation will make them illegal in this country in the near future.

What's that all about then?

[Hydropotesinermis 724]

It's european legislation that bans chemicals in the powder...

[Hydropotesinermis 724]

Most american manufacturers are non compliant.

[walshie 2,804]

Oh right. So you'll be able to buy Hornady just with a different powder I assume.

[Hydropotesinermis 724]

You'll be able to buy the bullets, if Hornady don't change the powder in their ammunition then you won't be able to buy it ready loaded.

Europe again sticking their fingers in, but as walshie says, Hornady will simply tweak the recipe!

Hopefully with cheaper ingredients to bring the price down, If only eh!

[charlie caller 3,654]

Do we know which reloading powders this is going to effect?

[Hydropotesinermis 724]

I assume most american powders but I couldn't give a definitive list.

 

Any European ones will be fine.

 

Will Hornady or any other manufacterer bother tweaking their powders? The European market for ammunition is probably less than one state.

[riflehunter583 58]

it would be interesting to know the facts, us vs europe demand especially as europe's population is twice the size of the us population, and many swiss people shoot as do former soviet union countries and Scandinavian countries

I doubt hornady will tweak anything to suit europe the market simply isn't big enough. We are about to lose hodgdon powders amongst others thanks to the interfering eu.
