PPU .264 Winchester Mag PSP Ammo FAQ:
The effective range of the PPU .264 Winchester Mag 140gr PSP can extend beyond 800 yards for skilled shooters. However, ethical hunting shots should generally be limited to 400-600 yards, depending on the shooter's ability and environmental conditions.
A 1:9" twist rate is generally recommended for stabilizing 140gr bullets in .264 Winchester Magnum. However, some rifles with 1:8" or 1:10" twist rates may also perform well with this ammunition.
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. PPU uses high-quality brass that can be reloaded multiple times with proper care and attention to load data.
Extreme temperatures can affect ammunition performance. In very cold temperatures, velocities may be slightly lower, while hot temperatures can increase pressures. However, PPU ammunition is designed to perform consistently across a wide temperature range.
In a quality rifle, this ammunition is capable of sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards. At longer ranges, accuracy will depend on shooter skill, environmental conditions, and rifle quality.
Barrel length can significantly affect velocity. Shorter barrels will generally produce lower velocities, while longer barrels may increase velocity. A change of about 25-30 fps per inch of barrel length is common for this cartridge.
While the .264 Winchester Magnum is primarily used in bolt-action rifles, this ammunition can be used in semi-automatic rifles chambered for this cartridge. However, always ensure your rifle is rated for this powerful cartridge.
Both cartridges offer excellent long-range performance, but the 7mm Rem Mag can push heavier bullets. The .264 Win Mag typically has a flatter trajectory, while the 7mm Rem Mag may have an advantage in retained energy at extreme ranges.
While effective on varmints, the 140gr bullet may be considered heavy for this purpose. It could cause excessive damage to smaller varmints and their pelts.
