[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2054114, member: 109113"] I'm not surprised that you liked that one, too. It's the only factory load I've ever used that got the advertised velocity in my rifle ( 24" barrel.) I also thought that my old Shooting Chrony had malfunctioned, when it showed the same velocity for three consecutive shots, which was 2880 fps - exactly what Federal advertised at the time. The three bullet holes were in a group that could be covered by a dime, just like several other groups I shot that day. The extreme spread of five three-shot groups' velocities was less than ten, which I think is remarkable. I haven't seen anything like this, before or since, with factory-loaded ammo. Trajectory, with the old 3" high at 100 yards sight-in, was right one at about 260; 3.5-4" low at 300. I didn't check it at on a target at 400, but did knock down an average-sized whitetail buck at that range with a top-of-the-shoulder hold that hit just above the elbow in the forward rib-cage. The bullet left a small exit wound, and a short blood trail - about two steps long to where the animal piled up. Typical Nosler Partition performance. [/QUOTE]
