[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1550376, member: 10178"] As for accuracy some of the most accurate factory ammo I have ever shot in any caliber is the cheapest Federal Blue Boxed that you usually find at places like Wal-Mart. It has just plain old cup and core soft point bullets but they also kill deer pretty effectively. A friend of mine that owned a gun shop, now retired, in east NC in the heart of some real deer hunting country used to offer rifle sighting in services for people. I would spend 3 weeks there hunting with a buddy that lived there and did all the rifle sighting in for this shop. While on my hunting trip there during the middle of the day some days or on Sunday afternoon when we could not hunt we would go to the range and shoot and do any of the rifle sighting in that needed done. When people brought in their rifle and did not bring or specify the ammo they wanted to use the shop owner always sent the Federal Blue Boxed ammo. Did not matter the caliber it was very accurate. If everything was working properly with the scope and rifle set up it usually did not take over 5 shots to have the rifle zeroed. That left the rest of the box for the customer to hunt with. Customers would come back to the shop to show off their deer lots of times and had no complaints about bullets performance. [/QUOTE]
