View the photo and you'll understand why trips to the range are such bitter-sweet experience for me.

200 yards (207 actual) shot prone, bipod and rear bag.
1.7" group. Average velocity 2490 @78 degrees. SD of 6 and ES of 17.

I've seen your frustration.
You have a barrel-scope combination which mostly plants them right where the crosshairs are, then for no known reason flings a few far and wide.
There ain't no way the crosshairs were off that far when the shot fired.

Picked up a can last week with my action coming in, but I have nothing but good things to say about AG line from Hornady.
I live about 20 minutes from Cowtown and have spent a lot of days shooting both Berger Hybrid custom loads and AG out to 1000 yards and it's very very good ammo. I keep a couple of creedmoore's zero'd with this stuff and two zero'd with my hand loads. Cheaper than buying brass and a very accurate load. This is consistently sub-moa, usually .6 or .7 MOA for 5 shot groups.
I'll do the same thing with the AG Grendel ammo. I just wish it was back on sale for $109.

New Hornady brass is 46c each at Midsouth. Starline is a penny more.
For most of us it is still better to buy AG for 70c each. Most of the good 6.5mm bullets are around a quarter each.
Something I've wondered about...isn't it true that the most accurate loads are from brass that has been fire-formed in your chamber? So if you buy new or used brass the first load won't be the best, the second will.
If true, we are better off buying AG to fireform than new or used empty brass.
I've also thought of trying some pull-downs (is that the right term?) and replacing the AG bullet and powder for a new load. Or evening out the powder charges in a number of cases for better consistency and accuracy.Last edited by Randy99CL; 07-24-2018, 11:10 AM."In any war, political or battlefield; truth is the first casualty."
