[QUOTE="treehugginghunter, post: 636447, member: 45144"] Thanks guys, I do not reload. the rounds I bought are factory Hornady 223 55 v-max (I didn't see "moly" listed on the box until I got home). I recently purchased a new rifle and have been testing different factory ammo to find out what it shoots best. I think I'll hold off on using the moly coated rounds. probably try to sell them. I just picked up some factory Hornady 53 grain v-max superperformance. the stats on these are likely the best I'll find in factory ammo that'll be fur friendly, so I'm hoping the rifle shoots them well. My new rifle is a Mossberg MVP. So far I am impressed. I had some Hornady 40 grain v-max laying around, so after I sighted it in close I shot two five shot groups. the rifle has a 24 inch barrel in a 9 twist so I wasn't expecting it to shoot the 40's all that well.....but to my amazment both groups were just over .5 in at 100 yards. Hoping the 53's are even better. it shot cheap 55 and 62 fmj's rather poorly with the worst group right around 1.5. this was cheap winchester ammo. I plan on posting a full review of the MVP once I get more shooting under my belt. so far I'm happy with it. thanks to everyone for their input. I've been a novice hunter and shooter all my life so it's nice to have some input from experts! [/QUOTE]
