erussell Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Well got out with a box of remington c lox 150 grainers. 50 yrds was great, could cover my best group with a quarter. I moved back to 100 and everything went to hell, group opened up alot. The gun is a carbine with an 18 inch barrel and 1:10 twist. The 165's I shot before the 150's shot better groups at 100 yrds. I might go back to them or try the 180's to see if my groups tighten up even more . Anyone have any thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have one jam out of the 20 rounds I fired. I gave it a really good cleaning the last time I shot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawle76 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Try 180 grain Federal Power Shok ammo. I shoot a Model 70 Win. in .30-06 and they seem to group pretty well for me. I also shoot the Fusions and I like the Hornady SST Interlock in 180. I've tried the Federal Vital Shok with Trophy Bonded tips and for some reason my groupings got very sloppy.

erussell Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Disregard, I must have been having a bad day or something. I went back with another box and at 100 yrds I could cover the group with a quarter. I also did a little rapid fire at 100yrds, shooting as fast as the crosshairs settled behind the shoulder, sitting on the ground off my knee and had a fist size group right behind the deer targets shoulder. So Im happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
