[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1725203, member: 104363"] I went thru 100 rounds of this ammo for break-in and for brass 1. Not impressed with POI shifts and group size variation, but was breaking it in 2. Powder residue in spent cases was difficult to remove and showed up on the first reloads as rediculous fliers (sticky bullet release). Had to polish the necks to remove and everything settled down afterwards. 3. Once you're ready to try target/hunting ammo try the better Nosler ($) ammo or if another mfr. is producing it in the bullet type you're looking at. Since you don't reload, you're at the mercy of stock on hand wherever you buy. Reloading is the best way to go, so save all the brass and hopefully from the same manufacturer. Factory new Nosler brass versus Nosler loaded ammo brass are different internally at the head. So you'll need to keep separate or sell the brass you don't want. Hoping a Lapua or other offering will come along soon. It's a great chambering that really responds to handloading as I have noticed. [/QUOTE]
