RE: how do you choose your ammunition?
Seattlesetters, something is wrong here.....do you use a chronograph for the velocity of the factory loads VS the handloads......because there's no way you shouldn't be able to at least equal the performance of Factory ammo......and I'd trade the gun off before spending $51/box for ammo!!!

RE: how do you choose your ammunition?
Vapodog - 150gr NP factory ammo chronos out of my gun at 3210-3220fps. It groups .70-.80" pretty consistently off of sandbags. That is very fast and very accurate.
I can get to about 3150fps with the handloading recipes I've tried with that bullet. Accuracy is a bit less, but still acceptable.
The factory ammo is indeed expensive, but it is so good it's scary.
Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
