[QUOTE="esshup, post: 1981971, member: 11101"] How? Lots of testing and monitoring the results, and keeping track of the results. BUT, their definition of "high performance" is way different than mine....... The only reasonable performing ammo factory ammo that I've shot is Federal Gold Medal Match .308 ammo out of my FN SPR, and it doesn't meet my definition of "high performance" at 1,000 yds because it isn't quite going fast enough for 780' elevation. Barrel was warm, starting to lose light so the group was hurried, 1/2 moa wide, 1 moa vertical. The horizontal group size was at the outer limits of what I'd call "high performance" and the vertical group size was too big. It shoots much better with handloads and 175g SMK's. None of my other rifles get fed factory ammo except rimfires. [/QUOTE]
