Frank Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 2 inches at 250yds is good connor with factory ammo. Was it some of them American Eagles by any chance? As they are deadly for the price. The rifle makes a great bit of difference aswell and them Remington VSSf's, are the dogs bolix. A fella i know, has one in swift and he groups 1/2 to 1 inch at 300yds with home loads. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I have a funny feeling they have some in the shop. When I was choosing some ammo in the celler for the .222, on the same shelf was a few boxes of AE. I must have another look, since you are so keen on them, they must be worth trying out. I will have to for once use my .222 though, I still have ammo boxes from the first day I bought, full to the brim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Conor, if you are getting a 2" group at 250 yards then stick with the ammo that you have Not many homeloaders can get better than that. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have run out, get a few boxes of AE and give them a try, each rifle is different. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
