[QUOTE="Mr_magoo, post: 1579787, member: 109243"] I k ow they're all made by Winchester, but I really like the Winchester brand of 20 grainers..got a bad batch of American eagle stuff that didnt shoot well at all and had some defective rounds where the bullets were crushed. In my ss HB Bmag, Winchesters shoot between 3/8" and 3/4" at 100 yards for 3 shot groups. 5 shot groups have vertical stringing from barrel heat because my stock isn't floated properly yet. POI is very predictable out of a cold barrel though. Performance on rockchucks/ marmots has been exemplary. Everything I've shot out to 250 yards has dropped DRT with one shot. For the first 20 rounds after sight in, I had killed 20 marmots. I like the round enough to take it prairie dog hunting. Works good for when the dogs start staying down beyond 22lr range, yet its quiet enough that the whole town doesn't get spooked. [/QUOTE]
