Federal Lake City XM80 Ball Ammo? Comments?

Anyone try this stuff?

Consistency? Average Groups? Better/Worse than Hirt?

I'm a clays on berms, steel plate smacking plinker out to 300yds. For .308/762Nato I shoot M1A, LAR8EO, PTR91, FAL and an Ishapore Enfield.

Honestly, accuracy wise, it depends on your rifles. Some barrels love it some don't.

As far as quality, it has always gone bang for me. And it is "new" production boxer brass.

My M21 prefers the Hirt. over the XM80. And shoots the MEN ( current production ) slightly better.

I would suggest your try a variety of ball ammo for accuracy, prior to any large case purchase.

And if you find some 2003 GGG ball.... that year production is dang near match accurate. The current production GGG is NO where near as accurate as the 2003 production.

Hmmm.  Never bumped into GGG but I will keep an eye out for the years you specify.

Great video on their site.

Roughly 2MOA from my CL MWS 16" barrel. Been 100% reliable, roughly 400 rds. I pick it up when PSA puts it on sale. Buy w/confidence.

Thanks all.  I went ahead and pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on a couple thousand rounds.
