As a matter of fact, I can. Hornady factory ammo has become my standard go to anyways. Buds had 50 round boxes for $22, so I bought 5 boxes and will give them a run.

Thanks everybody.

Finally got the .223 Sendero out to the range today. Turns out the gun loves the Hornady 55 grain bullets - thank you, ingwe.

Tuned up and ready to slay some 'yotes tomorrow. And I have an antlerless deer tag in my pocket, so...grin

5 shots @100yards

Sweet rig and nice shooting, hell of a group for any factory load..............but, that Gem of a rifle will probably shoot it all.

What did you think of the new glass?

Yeah, I was surprised or maybe I should say shocked shocked that it shot so well out of the gate. Not thrilled with the trigger - I'll get around to replacing it with a Timney or Trigger Tech eventually.

The Athlon Midas, ya' know, it's a great value for $339 bucks. But I'll swap it out soon. Nothing wrong with it, just I've just grown accustomed to FFP scopes and the cross-hair is too fine for my liking. When the illumination is turned on it really washes the reticle out trying to shoot those red target dots. On the plus side the illumination is daylight bright and there shouldn't be any bright red coyotes out in the woods. smile
