I saw something I can' t believe. My buddy just got a FN A1 Tactical 308. real nice gun for 1360dollars. McMillian stock, heavy chrome lined barrel, winchester 70 action. Well, we took to the range with 5 different types of ammo. FN guanteeed less than .75" groups at 100 yards with Fed Match or Black hills 168gr 308win ammo. None of that ammo could we get ahold of this weekend, but had the following

Federal Nosler Bullistic Tips 165gr
Federal Sierra Gamekings Boatails 165gr
Remington Match 168gr
Remington Coreloks 150gr
Winchester silvertips 165gr

Out of all this, corloks got .5" groups at 100 yards. Not once, but three times. I was shocked. Never seen Coreloks ever shoot. The bullistic tips sucked bad for some reason and my old favorite the sierras got 1.2" groups or less consistently. Winchesters got 1.5" groups. And remington Match got .9" groups consistently.

Do ya think that the reason the coreloks shot so well cause they were the only ones 150gr? I mean this barrel is so thick, I figured it would shoot most wieghts good. Also, this Chrome lined barrel is so cool. No breakin needed, and very little copper fouling.
