PMP Ammo??????use or stay away
Just want to get some thoughts and opinions on .270win bullets. How is PMP? Still new to this and what i have heard some people say its fine no problems and then the next guy says if you want to quest the rest of your life get PMP.
So any input would be appreciated.
Thanks guys

You don't have to start threads all over the place for the same thing.
PMP Pro Amm is as good as a conventional bullet can get, I would avoid it in high velocity calibres like the .270 though.
Loaded ammo is of very high quality and consistence, if you are an occasional hunter it will do just fine if you practice enough and place the shots right.

I also agree, PMP Pro Am are excellent ammo for most hunters - accurate and reliable. However, should you require premium bullets, you need to consider reloading.

Re: PMP Ammo??????use or stay away
I used PMP Pro-Amm exclusively until I started reloading! I have a 243 and chrono'd the PMP's at 2850fps average in my rifle. I only used it on springbok and blesbok though.
Not sure about performance on big antelope at close range in a .270W though. Might break up and cause excessive damage.

Re: PMP Ammo??????use or stay away
I have used PMP's .375 300 grain round soft nose bullets for some years with out problems. Until last year, I had one bullet disintegrate on the lower shoulder of a blouwildebees and another disintegrated in the lung of a blouwildebees. My loads are 2 grains under minimum. May be just a pair of duds in the box. Any ways will be trying Sierra Game Kings this year. A friend of mine uses Pro Am and swears by them in his 308 and 270.

I have been using the Pro Amm 180gr in my .308 and have not had any issue that I could blame on the bullet. Last year a PH took down a wounded BWB bull with my rifle, broadside, no issues.
