7mm ammunition

I bought Federal Powershock 150 grain bullets for 12.50 Is there something wrong with these shells? They are 7 bucks cheaper than any other 7mm ammunition.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with them. They are non-premium and are made for a cheap price; they aren't exactly shining beacons of light in the ballistics world, however

but will be fine for deer and targets.

Thanks, I hunt in a swamp and usually don't shoot over 70 yards, so they should do the job then.

No, you got an excellent deal. Generally, they run around $20/box.

They should be great for deer out to 400 yds, so 70 shouldn't be a problem.

A little update, at 300 yards I shot a group of 3 in about a pop can, they were about 9 inches low when I was zeroed in at 100 yards. They will work for me!
