black hills is EXCELLENT quality ammo, dont hesitate to shoot the blue box stuff. I use the 52gr match for varmint hunting, and its deadly accurate. i can get 3/4" groups at 100yds with it easily, and i am a lousy shot to boot.

+1 on the BHBB 50 gr. V-MAX and the 52gr. Match HPBT. The 50 gr. V-MAX has a polymer ballistic tip that is claimed to give a better BC and aid in expansion. The 52 gr. is your typical BTHP. They both shoot great in my RRA 24", 1-12" twist Varmit. I shoot mostly the 52 gr. because it is cheaper. I recently averaged my last 65 5-shot groups (325 rnds), and included all flyers and the 52 gr. averaged .87" at 100 yards. 47 groups were under 1 " and 19 groups were under .75".

Blue Box = Once fired Lake City Brass and no primer sealant.
Red Box = New BH Brass with primer sealant. |

I guess with the Primer sealant, the red box should have a longer shelf life?
I keep my ammo in my safe with a golden rod. What is the shelf life of blue box vs. red box,? (if there is a difference at all inside a safe) Frank |

In a climate controlled safe I would not expect any difference at all. |

Has anyone ordered Black Hills from Joseph Kiser at Kiser Munitions? Seems his price is
the cheapest on the Ammo Price list. I e-mailed him but have not gotten a reply, anybody know his screen name so I could IM him? Frank |
