[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 3014740, member: 34818"] So…the ammo sucked in my rifle. Rifle: Hells Canyon Armory build Tikka action with a new trigger spring installed 24” HCA Carbon barrel. Velocity is well over advertised: 3020 on cold cleaned barrel 3045 3065 3081 3054 3081 3064 3033 3094 Chrono did not read the last shot for some reason. Not counting the cold clean barrel shot it was an ES of 61. [ATTACH type="full"]536700[/ATTACH] Group was around 2” for the 10 shot group at 100 yards. (I’ll measure when I get home) Shot three handloads (all I had) 170 Gr hammer Hunter tipped over 65.5 gr of N560 3013 3014 3018 [ATTACH type="full"]536701[/ATTACH] ES of 5 and grouped .3” (I’ll measure when I get home). Like I said, that’s only 3 shots for handloads so not a fair comparison but I have shot 10 shot groups with ES of 15 and way smaller groups than 2” haha. Overall thoughts of the factory ammo….awesome bullet but crappy ammo. [/QUOTE]
