I know this is "Pistol" forum but I hope someone will get some value from this. Since I haven't had time to reload the last several years I've been shooting factory ammo almost exclusively. I've always been in search of the "ideal" hunting bullet that will still expand at lower velocities, yet retain some mass at short distances. This round is advertised to do so, hopefully it delivers.
I've put almost a case of it through my rifle and been happy with the performance. It shoots just under 1 MOA from my 22" proof and nails the advertised velocity of 2730fps. I was only able to chronograph 5 rounds as my magnetospeed gave me problems that range session.
Average velocity: 2729
SD: 13
n:5
The advertised G7 BC of .258 has been spot on for me out to 1k.
This was 5 shots today at 500yds after 1 sighter on steel to make sure I hadn't screwed up my wind call too badly.
I'm still hoping I can find a bear to introduce one to this spring.
