[QUOTE="Herr Nagler, post: 1583066, member: 109104"] I tested lots of ammo and found at least 12 brands that would shoot one hole 5-shot groups at 50 yards in my sako finnfire range. Of those 12 only five shot less than 1” inch at 100 yards. Of those five the one that shot the best at 100 (less than 1/2”) shot the worst at 200. What greyfox said is spot on. Low ES/sD is critical beyond 150. The best Ammo in my rifle at 200 yards turned out to be Eley Tenex which held 1/2” elevation spread in calm conditions. I recorded an ES of 3 fps over 10 shots. The next closest Ammo was Eley match at 1.2” at 200. Everything else (Federal gold medal match and SK+ Etc) was 2.5+” at 200 yards. Test and see what your gun likes. [/QUOTE]
