Kicked around the local shops yesterday and managed to buy some Rem 170 Gr Core-Lokt Soft Points and Win 170 Gr Power Points. Sadly could not find any Federal blue box. Both the 170 gr loads shot SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Rem 150 Gr SPs.
Best 3-shot groups at 50 yards:
Rem 150 gr SP: 1 3/4"
Rem 170 gr SPs: 1/2"
Win 170 gr PPs: 1/2"
The Win 170's were more consistent than the Rem 170's over three groups. So they get the nod. But it was close.
I'll have a few boxes of Rem 150 gr SPs for sale soon in the classifieds. Somebody's rifle might shoot them better than mine!
