[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 776175, member: 28741"] Federal Power Shock - standard blue box - 100grn SP leave my 22" barrel at 40fps slower - 2940 - than what it says on the box - 2980. They are very accurate in my gun, between .25 & 1 MOA. Don't know who makes the bullet. I have loaded 100gr Hornady BTSP Interlocks, and my most accurate load with Varget (32gr) is only about 2690 fps. But I have put 3 rounds in the same ragged hole at 200 yards, with the 4th .25" away with that load. I'm working on a new load with 4831 in an effort to keep this level of accuracy but boost the vel back up to to 2900 for hunting. I can definitely feel the difference in recoil between my accurate 2690 load and Federal's 2940 load, though both are mild. The former is like shooting a 223. I have found the standard Hdy Interlocks BTSP or just flat base SP to be very accurate in 2 different calibers; 243 & 270. The 270 130s shoot cloverleaves - 1" @100 out of a Browning automatic rifle. Pretty impressive for an autoloader, but it is finicky- I have not achieved the same accuracy with Nosler, Barnes or Sierra in different bullet types. Those are all expensive compared to the Interlocks so I have stayed with them. They and SSTs drill pretty badass holes and do expand well. [/QUOTE]
