These are the figures currently published by PPU USA. The trajectory is presented with a 100-yard zero. PPU does not publish wind-drift data for this load on the current product page, so no wind column is included.
PPU’s 2024 catalog lists different figures for this load. This report uses the current PPU USA product page as the primary official source. The current PPU USA table repeats 2,508 fps at both 200 and 300 yards. It is reproduced as published rather than silently corrected.
Bullet and Load Design
The full-metal-jacket boat-tail bullet is configured for target and training use rather than controlled expansion. PPU identifies this 62-grain load as PP223F2 and publishes a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.295.
Best Uses
This load fits range practice and training when a 62-grain FMJBT projectile is desired. Confirm that the rifle’s twist rate and sight settings produce acceptable stability and point of impact.
Reliability Notes
Function and accuracy depend on the individual rifle, chamber, magazine, and environmental conditions. The official specifications do not replace a practical reliability check with the exact firearm.
