Love the performance
I use this in my high power matches on a reduced distance 200 yard range and love what this cartridge can do. They make me look like I know what I'm doing! Sierra bullets are my favorite anyway so I'm staying with these

Best BANG for your buck!
Glad I found ammo that my Mossberg MVP loves! Was planning on reloading for accuracy but I think proof is in the pudding.

Great cartridge!
While trying out different cartridges to see what my 1:8 white oak barrel liked, I found these. Let me say that they are amazing. Excellent quality and attention to detail by Federal. My rifle loves them!

Excellent results
I used this ammo for a 300 meters shooting with a grouping less than 1".
Fits very well in my Tikka Sporter 1/8" 24" barrel.
I really improve my groupings since I use this ammo.
Bravo!

Very Pleased
I have no trouble hitting a 10 inch plate at 535 yards out of my 18 inch barreled AR. It has a custom trigger and a JP muzzle break, but everything else is fairly stock. I realize that's a 2 moa target. My groups at this distance are typically 1 to 1.5 moa.
I'm very pleased and will continue to run this ammo.

winner at 600 yards
I shoot this to 600 yards. My first group at 600 was about 4 inches and some smaller than an inch. Savage Model 12 with varmint barrel. It matches most handloads.
At 100 yards I have shot 0.25 MOA
YMMV
