None of my other local gun stores except Scheels had any factory ammo and they had only Fiocchi with 40gr V-Max
They shoot OK but nothing to get excited about. One of my 204's is also a Ruger American, do yourself a favor and get a Timney trigger for it. the AICS magazine is awesome on that model.
Best accuracy by far is with handloads
Yeah, accuracy kind of sucked with mine too. The reason I sent it down the road...
Of course the op wanted to know how the ammo did on critters too. Small ones it turned inside out:
This one was at 320 yards:
Didn't do quite as much damage at 410 yards:
Then back to 311 yards:
For factory ammo, the Fiocchi works just fine. Easily sub moa for 10 shots at 100 yards. I wouldn't blame poor accuracy on ammo, as the rifle I had shot it well enough. Of course handloads are going to shoot better, but the op was asking about factory ammo options.
