Brian, I managed to pick up some Remington 174grn FMJ cartridges (green & white boxes) last year in an auction over here. Out of curiosity, I pulled a bullet to have a look and it bore a striking resemblance (that is to say, "identical") to the 174grn PPU bullets I usually reload with. Are Remington buying in components from PPU?
