I bought 2 cases when it first went on sale. I haven't shot any but several members have reported good results. I do handload 140 Game Changers in my .270 and accuracy and performance on a mule deer buck was superb. I'd buy all I needed at that price.

I shot one through the ribs of a MI buck this year. Not much of a test. He died and is in the freezer now. First kill with a factory load in many years. When the loaded ammo costs less than the components, it’s hard to argue.

It is a sign that guns and ammo are not selling. I was at a store called Fleet Farm and the guy said it was busy. I also went to a big gun store today and they onlt made 13 transactions today. It seems like it is really slow . The gun market has to be saturated. Ruger and Smith& Wesson stock is really down.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

It’s decent for accuracy through two different rifles. Haven’t shot at any game with it.

My rifle didn't care for it but my buddies rifle shot 5 under an inch. Mine was more like 3". I bought 5 boxes of it and for what I paid I'll keep it put back just in case I find another 270 needing a home

I bought a case when it was on sale for 12.99 a box a couple months ago. First factory rifle ammo I bought since 2007. My Tikka shoots it great, of course.

Shoots consistently tiny groups in my Tikka, I’ve got about 4 boxes left and only reason I’m not buying more is to get setup to reload myself.

Got 6 boxes on the way to split between dad and I.
I have a model 70 that I haven’t loaded anything for yet and my dad picked a 270 he hasn’t shot yet. Neither will see a ton of use so 6 boxes will likely last us 8-10 years
Will be interesting to see how it shoots.

Shoots just fine in my rifle.
Thanks for posting up the deal. 3 shots 2 were about 3/8 of an inch apart. The other was an inch and a half off, I believe it was operator error.
Will shoot again in better weather but have no doubts it will do just fine for deer hunting conditions in the woods.

They shoot well in my son’s Sauer. 3 in half an inch at 100. Saves me some loading time. I bought 10 boxes and gave him a couple for Christmas. Take care! Rick
