    Looking at the Super perforance ammo, its another step up in factory ammo. My 308 is 24 inch, so the 150sst is going somewhere darn close to 3000 fps and groups at least .8. Whats actually better...reloading and getting maybe 2800fps ish and grouping .5 - .6 or so groups that in a sako may (might not) be getting .7 out of the factory and getting higher MV ?? I recken for a hunting round the factory ammo prob gets better perforance than reloading as the extra speed and energy produced out weighs the tiny difference in groups as in the end its normally the 3 shot that flies to give me the group. My first two shots often keyhole or darn close and 3rds a flyer that still produce a group well under a inch but going faster than most reloads as most arent getting 2900fps plus are they?? Just saying, correct me if im wrong, not a reloader of course so i could be talking crap out of my arsehole
