Hornady American Gunner ammunition

[Holycity73]

I purchased several boxes of 6.5 Creedmoor to practice with. Yes, the rifle is a full custom, but the results with this "cheap ammo" were nothing less than spectacular.

I am planning on using this ammunition exclusively for target. With results like these below, it's easy to put the confidence in my training ammo that I'd usually reserve for match ammo.
The first two groups are of three with a windage shift to keep using the stickie.
I immediately switched to my ten shot mag.
The third group is ten with two seconds or so between each shot.
I just kept shooting until my mag was empty.

I'd say Hornady may have gotten it right.

That's a .392" ten shot group

2 three shot groups

Nice shooting! Yep, looks good enough to use...

Nice groups, I would recommend get some from a different lot if possible and see how they shoot, will provably be the same but just to make sure.

You don't always have to pay premium price for great performance.

I see you have fallen for their marketing hype

SARCASTICALLY

thats amazing !!!
you cant even see any powder burns on the target from holding it so close

i read on the bathroom wall at the truckstop ,all cm's can do that

seriously though lets see pics of the rifle... good shooting

As bulk loaded ammunition goes, this is a high value low cost ammunition, that's amazingly consistent in 6.5 Grendel & 6.5 Creedmoor.

But hornady brass sucks I'm confused?
Lol just kidding
Nice shooting
My rifle preferred the 140eldm match ammo over the American gunner, but nice to see such stellar results

Don't get me wrong, the match does much better.

Ah then you have probably have a better gun than me. Lol
Have you tried the Sako match ammo, 136scenars I think?

I have not. I've only tried their game head in 25-06

Great product.

6.5 CM + Hornady factory ammo with a group like that, definitely a one-miler rifle, no doubt about it. You should start a LRH 6.5 CM one-miler club, I will join the budget entry factory rifle category.

BYAH!

Yep. American Gunner is good stuff. IIRC, five 5-shot groups out of my Beanland match gun averaged in the .4s. Took some concerted effort to develop a handload that does better.
