[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1959547, member: 113501"] My experience with "bad" ammo is cheap stuff with an unknown bullet and who knows how good the powder metering is or a bullet known for poor transonic flight. The solution is to make sure your barrel twist is correct, your crown is in good shape, your barrel free floats in the stock and you have put some effort in to barrel break in and proper cleaning that doesn't damage the barrel. Then buy known good ammo with a bullet that will work with your twist. FGMM has been pretty good for me, all the Hornady Amax and ELD-M I have tried has been great, Berger brand is great. Buying the cheapest I could find has led to a few disappointments but it is fine for break in and barrel fouling. I think it is better to use the internet to see what has worked well for others in similar guns, then think about hand loading if you want the best. [/QUOTE]
