Anyone shoot Double Tap ammo? Never heard of it before.

Anyone shooting the new Superformance from Hornad? Anyone try the Nosler ammo yet?


I am full of questions
My Savage .308 loves Federal Premium Vital-Shok in 165 grain. ...wickedly accurate!

For target rounds, the most incredibly accurate round I have found is from a reloading company called Georgia Arms (they are always at the gun shows). http://georgia-arms.com/index.aspx They make some amazing 168gr BTHP target rounds, that rival Federal's best match grade rounds!
