Factory ammo is always a bit of a gamble. You could get lucky and find the cheap stuff shoots amazingly. If not, you might have to try a selection premium stuff. Chances are at least one will shoot well. But still there's no guarantees.

Seems to group alright, at least well enough for me anyway. Yeah it has dropped 31inchs form the 100m POI. It seems odd that it looses so much FPS and drops so much. Just wondering what the thoughts on that are
