After the $14.00 shipping charge it comes to $8.65 per 100 round box of this wonderful ammo (if you buy it in the 2,000 round offering!). THAT... is a great deal! Thanks again for the heads up.

Picked up a couple boxes to try. No joy in my RA rifle. Some of the largest groups I've ever gotten from it, with that stuff. Velocity is 1330. Hafta try some of the 40gr ammo mentioned here, Haven't seen any yet, but wasn't looking. Bought my Ruger American the year they came out and am very happy with it. Shoots CCI SV very well, same for Mini Mag HPs. If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Set up a target at 25 yards and 75 yards and shot off front and rear bags. Accuracy was not good. At 75 yards I’d get 3 rounds real tight and two real bad flyers. It was worse than Thunderbolts, which shot 1.5” groups at 75 yards. Scope was set on 14 power. This won’t be my go-to ammo.

At least, the one box does.......... I've still got about half of it (50 rounds or so). You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Thanks for the link. I like the Tikka "plastic" stock much more than the Ruger offering - even though the Tikka stock is not very impressive either. Oh well - there is something to say about utility (cheapness). Thanks again. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy Correct, Winchester makes Browning labeled ammo of recent manufacture. Yes. And HP high velocity is some of the best gopher ammo a guy can buy. If you find it get a case or two. Originally Posted by Geno67 Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual.
