I love the federal line of ammo so I was thinking of trying the power shok. But since it's the same brand do you think my gun won't like it either or is it completely different all together. Thanks
My vanguard s2 3006 shoots sub moa with 150 gr. power shok, but with the fusions and Hornady interlock , not so good.
It could be the soft point boat tail and different powder they use.
So far the power shoks and sciroccos in the same weight do good.
Something I noticed is that the fusions and Hornady ammo when fired causes the rifle to recoil to the left.
The ammo that does good in the rifle recoils straight back.
I know nothing about the science of ammo it's just something I've noticed.
Nosler factory ammo shoots real good in my son's 708 , 140 or 120 gr. it didn't matter.
My guess is, if use soft points, stick with flat base bullets.
Cor lokts power points power shoks .
I hope this helps.
