I hate to say this because I love Montana Gold for my pistol rounds. However, with the MG .223 the POI spread is at least 4 times what I get with the same load and bullet weight with Sierra MatchKing HPBT. This was observed at the same shooting session with the same rifle support.

This was observed at the same shooting session with the same rifle support. I would say that the spread is somewhat normal if you are comparing it to a match grade closed base bullet. Remember, these are bulk packed open based FMJ's. I have never tried them myself but I have heard that they are close to comparable to the Hornady's. |

I only commented on my experience with accuracy through the same rifle with similar loads. |

I think eweloader's comparison is valid. We should all be SMART enough to know that there's a difference between matchking and bulk. And the MK are just a baseline for comparison.

I think I would look to Hornady for bulk packaged bullets that shoot well.
I have bought bulk Hornady's from Midsouth Shooters Supply and been happy with the prices, availability and service. |
