Very informative Cody47........thank you.

That was a phenomenal post. Thank you for that. I found it very interesting that your gun shot the Fiocchi 40-gr. V-Max so well, the 62-gr. FMJ so poorly, and the 77-gr. MK as well. The Performance reloads shot very well. That's some impressive stuff for the price. I'd love to buy some, but I can't seem to find a phone number or good website. Again, stellar post - thanks for taking the time to gather and share all that data. |

I think a mod needs to tack this one. Great review. Thanks a lot for putting that together.

Awesome work, wish I could have done it myself!

Good job Cody and thanks for posting this!

Great work putting it together Cody!
I am really impressed at the performance of the Fiocci 77 grain Sierra MK. Any chance you can put all the data (without pics) in a table at the end? A screen shot of the data in a spreadsheet would work great. Average the group size and sort it by that. Just an idea. Thanks again. |

Cody47 - Thank you very much for going through the trouble and testing all that ammo, uploading the pictures and sharing!
I'll mark this post "do not archive" so it stays active for non-Team members. |

Fantastic. Great job.

What is your budget, and what do you want to do with the rifle? These are the questions you must answer before purchasing anything.

very impressive! thanks for the time and effort! ever consider adding some SSA loads to the testing?
|
|
|
Awesome!
As you noted, this accuracy/range report isn't completely scientific, but it is interesting and useful to see none the less. Thank you very, very much for sharing this! It's interesting to see how 55 gr FMJ-BT rounds have different performance. Not surprised Hornady's 55 gr fmj-bt are more accurate than most. Thanks again!

Again, stellar post - thanks for taking the time to gather and share all that data. Thanks guys. When I began this it wasn't a project but more of a simple test to find some accurate ammo. I expected with a 1:8 twist that only heavy bullets would shoot well and found that totally untrue. To my surprise, some 40gr bullets shot as well as 77gr. Then it started to morph into a project as I started to test all sorts of .223/5.56 ammo. I started to see that V-Max and Match bullets tend to shoot a lot better than FMJ and SP bullets even from the same manufacturer. Yes I did spend a lot of time and $$ to do this and felt that after all of this effort it wasn't fair to keep it to myself. Here's the contact info for the Performance Ammo Reloads - Ph. 775-287-0001 email:[email protected]. His name is Daryl and he's a really nice guy. I met him at a gun show and his stuff shot so well that I have now bought a few thousand rounds from him. It's so accurate that I use his ammo to sight in my scope. He is pretty informative as well and takes pride in his product. -Cody |

Isn't it strange how a rifle will prefer some loads to others even though they use the exact same projectile? That's why I love reloading!

For newbies seeing this post, take note:
First, thanks for an amazing and time-consuming job of posting all the great info! I appreciate what you've done... In the 80's, I helped a guy zero some rifles he had. Two of his rifles were Colt H-BAR 20" rifles. He had about five different brands of ammo to test. Colt H-BAR #1 had a 1" group (on average) with Black Hills Ammo (don't remember what flavor, but it was reman.) This same gun had a 4" group (or worse, on average) with some Federal soft point (new ammo) Colt H-BAR #2 had a 5 1/2 " group (on average) with the same Black Hills Ammo used above (which was a big shock to me) And yet this same gun had a 3/4" group (on average) with the Federal soft point used above. And I shot 5 groups of 5 shots to come up with the averages...it wasn't just one or two groups. So ammo that shows up as "very accurate" with the original poster's ammo, may be accurate with your rifle, or may not be. Just something to consider before you buy 1,000 round case of "the most accurate" ammo. |
