Bought three boxes for $19.99 at my LGS last week.
Local Co-op has them here for 19.99

I tried to do the same locally but the LGS would only sell me so much, wanted to save some for other customers, and I think that's fair.
That's where I got mine too.

Today I picked up 5 boxes of PPU round nose SP for $20 each.
Going to get in some more practice!

Holy cow thats a shooter, SuperCub!!!
Mark, those look like great 100 meterish hunting loads eh! happy you got some good ammo...and good brass!
Really interested in how hunting goes with any of the loads mentioned here....and thinking about trying a 110gr CX or 110-120gr TTSX with the 7.62x39

I'm thinking of trying some of the 110gr TacTx for the 300 blackout since the 123gr TSX are unobtainable right now. Hopefully the .308 dia shoot accurately enough.
I hope so too!
That bullet took a very big doe from a 300 BLK I sold a good friend, but it was a headshot so we can't say tooo much about effectiveness other than it did a number haha.
Would be a peach in the 7.62x39mm I bet even if it needed single loading. Thinkin about jumping in with 110 vmax data.

We used Sierra 150gr on one deer and one black bear if I'm remembering correctly. Shot distances were probably about 70 and 30yds. Both went through and expanded well. Both animals dead in a hurry.
PPU 123 grain PSP. Very accurate and seem to be decently hot loaded.

Think I have the same stuff? I'll have to check though.
I've fired almost every commercial load I could get my hands on but what works best out of my Howa gives the same result out of my brother's CZ. I'm pushing either Hornady SST's or Z-Max on top of 25.5 gr. of Reloader 7, the load shoots 1" or less 5 rnd. groups at 100 yds. I nailed a nice 6 pt. buck with that round about 3 yrs. back.
