Recently acquired a Ruger American Preditor in 243 to use as a truck gun/loaner.
After useing some miscellanious rounds that I had on the shelf to get it on paper, 3 shots with Federal Fusion ammo went into 0.86"
Then I fired 3 rounds with some 95gr Ballistic Tips and 4350 that I had loaded for another gun. They went into 0.68".
I have a bunch of 90gr Speer Deep Shocks, that I got a "deal" on. So next trip to the range, I took some of those, loaded with IMR4350. They went into 0.64", Quickest load development ever!
I love walnut and forged steel rifles, but I am impressed wiht what Ruger has done with the American Rifle.
