Maybe my gun just doesn't like them but, I won't buy anymore.

This is 150 yds from shooting sticks:

Every gun has a personality.  The gun that left the assembly line right behind yours might like them--yours doesn't!  :dunno:

I took some apart once, they had 10 grains of powder difference in one box.  They shot better than that though, gun must hate them.

I'll stick with the Noslers.  Tried to save $10/box.  Did the same with Remington Core-lokd and the results were similar.  Not near as bad but similar.

I hardly shoot factory ammo other than stuff I run through gas guns(AR's). I have noticed that factory Hornady Ammo has really improved over the years. Super Accurate out of my Grendel and Sig 716.

My pard bought a few boxes to form in his 06'ai. That gun ripped a .2" group with them enough times to make me think they can't be all bad.

One would be hard pressed to top a .2 group with factory ammo. :tup:

:yeah:  If you reload your own stuff it makes a hell of a difference.  I was shooting 180 fusions and switched to 180 Hornady SST with varget and I went from 2 inch groups to 0.2 or better (its hard to measure).  If you want to go real cheap, Lee makes a hand press that can get you started for $30.
