    Anyone every use these? Looking for something cheap but still want it to group well. It's for a .308. Want to shoot a few foxes but don't wanna spend as much compared to my normal ammo.

    I have used it in my .223. Never had any runners with it so I say it would be fine in .308 too.

    I did this at 300 yards with the 50gr stuff.

    Patrick carley firearms has ppu 150 grain I think he is selling them for 16 euro a box if you take a couple of boxes off him. It groups pretty well
    Just google him to get his number he opens late some evenings

    I use it whenever it goes on sale [in the states]. In general, I'm more inconsistent than it. Although, I usually buy their pistol stuff.

    If you're out for a fox their shouldn't be any problem inside of 200ya.

    It's good stuff, just don't show up at the Creedmore with it...

    you can get umc's in 308 in ennis for €20 euro a box but it might be a bit far of a drive from tipp for you
