LBM they are once you find what it likes.My hunting partner has the identical rifle.They aren't Federals he's shooting, actually they are hand loads another friend of his loaded up for him.His shoots the Ballistic Tips well.My rifle was brand new at the time. It's had several rounds through it since then.I'm going to try the Federal's again next time out and see if it's improved since the barrel has been broken in.I do hope it likes the BT's.Not to start another discussion about triggers. Mostly likely you'll need to get the Ruger's trigger lightened.They are heavy from Ruger in most cases. There is another topic about Ruger replacemnt triggers you might want to read.It was here the other day so it might be on page two or three by now of the Guns forum.I really think you'll be happy with a M-77.
