I did a search on ammoseek.com to include 'match' +brass case in the 223Rem section, and Colt National Match 62gr came up as the cheapest, along side PPU 69gr.

I can't find any kind of information or reviews on the stuff except that it is being made in partnership with Double Tap. Has any tried this out yet? If I could get 1-2moa groups out of it, I'd be happy for the price.

Colt as far as I know does not load ammo...the PPU 69 grain loaded ammo sounds like the same match ammo I hand load with 69 Nosler or Sierra match grade bullets.  I bet the PPU will deliver the 1 to 2 MOA you desire.

Right, they partnered with Double Tap to make various loads. They also make a 'defense' version that has a bonded 62gr bullet.

I do have some of the PPU 69gr and it is a great round, gives me a average of 2moa. It's just that every so often the PPU Match disappears from the market (the 75gr is very hard to find right now). I like that the Colt Match is 62gr which should give me a similar POI for the rounds I use for bulk/plinking.

I'm curious why they chose to name a 62 gr FMJ round "national match".   That's a bullet weight and bullet configuration pretty much nobody anywhere is going to use for a National Match course of fire - ever.
