[Guest JohnGalway]

Good round if it groups well, shot my first fox with an Accutip am using Hornady Vmax at the moment. Well done on the crow, bit of satisfaction in that.

I corrected the title for you. Vmax are good too, use what ever groups best in your rifle

I started with 55g ppu, good grouping. but now it seams to be all over, done the normal checks scope ect, the remmington accutip groups in the inch but would prefer the pricing of the PPU, i have just ordered 75g ppu to see if that comes back in.

 

What have you decided on?

Just remember 75graines are for "tight twisted barrels "........ I use 75grain PPU at long range "they are the dogs"

I use the 55gr remmy accutips through my 223 howa, they are very accurate and quite well priced for 'premium' ammunition, got mine for £16 per box. Ran out of them at the mo and local FD didnt have any left so bought some Feds 40GR ballistic tips, havent yet tried them on old foxy yet

i was paying £21.50 a box, @ my local fd 300 metres away from me.

have now found them 25 miles away at £16.50

only when i skin the rabbit i will take the p**s

so i will be driving 25 miles even if its for one box

my tikka didnt like them that much, i am useing norma 50gr polly tips

Hi

My tikka has a 1 in 8 twist and is poor with anything less than 55g, found the winchesters far better than the remingtons.

Just bought some corbon 60g soft tips and it loves them....no over penetration either, they just fragment internally so can even give the local taxidermist something he can work with.
