If you can find some Norma ammo instead of PPU, you should try that. Norma makes excellent 6,5x55 ammo...

Range Report:
1 box of PPU soft point, 100 yards, seated on the concrete, hasty sling. Brilliant sunshine, 48 degrees, and very windy. First shot was one of the two 12:00s. Target was swinging wildly (we clip cardboard mounts on a rope), so several off the mark. The ones that hit were grouped well, but high, as I was aiming at the default 6:00 low. Next time I'll aim lower, and this one will be a great shooter. Rifle was very smooth and easy to shoot with a very mild recoil. Bore has cleaned up to nearly perfect.

OMG. Back to the range, benched, 100 yards, 54 degrees and breezy. I got an original sight protector for the rifle. 20 rounds PPU soft points. Every shot in the black; this rifle is disgustingly accurate and by far the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. I held a finger-width low on the black to compensate. The only one that comes close is my '03 Springfield when I put 20 rounds in a 6 inch circle, but that was before I got bifocals. I would have no problem shooting it at 200 or even 300 yards - even though I'm not sure I could see much at 300 yards.

PPU at $16 a box vs Norma at $35 a box, I can easily tell you which I'd be shooting. Nice looking rifle. I've had mine for 25 years and still haven't taken it to the range.
