LERAA prefer the PPU 174gn FMJ as they feel it closely copies the MkVII and is relatively inexpensive here at two bucks a round.

Very poor hunting cartridge though, PPU also make a 180gr SP which has proven itself on all game species short of the Big 5, and Remington also make a 180gr SP using Core-Lokt.
