PMP ammo

[T.R.]

This ammo comes from South Africa. I've used their 100 grain soft tip .243 ammo with fine results. Very good accurasy and predictable lethal performance on mule deer.

PMP (Pretoria Metal Pressings) is part of Denel, the SA arms company. It's good stuff - apart from my handloads and carry ammo, I used to use the stuff all the time when living in South Africa - usually shot the ammo in order to scavenge the brass for reloading.

I've shot a bunch of their 180gr SP 303 British fodder. It was reasonably accurate but SLOW - chrono'ed out of two different No4Mk1's @ 2200fps at seven yards.... That's a full 200fps below MkVII spec (174gr @ 2440).

On the good side, their brass is top-notch stuff - well worth keeping and reloading.
