Can you find the PPU ammunition in texas. It's a good factory load and the brass is good for reloading.

I'm actually in Iowa now (Army moved me), but .303 British is a pain to find all over. Texas was a little easier but was usually 150gr soft points. Here the only LE rifle I've seen that I didn't own was a sportarized No 5.

I have used PPU before and out of a couple of my rifles it shoots decent. I usually reload, but don't have any cooked up due to recently moving. I did like to use Hornady Vintage as a baseline for accuracy to build off of, but I guess that won't be an option anymore.

To clarify, Hornady Vintage is a boat tail design and shoots pretty well out of this rifle. So keeping that in mind I don't think the issue was boat tail vs flat base, I think the UMC ammo just is much lower quality as attested by the price.
