Hornady 55gr SP Brass case training ammo


Outback 55gr Sierra Blitzking


Outback 69gr Sierra Matchking


Hornady Superperformance 53gr V-max


Federal Fusion 62gr


Home made 65gr Sierra Gameking RG brass Fed 205 23.5gr AR2206H


Very, very happy with this rifle it shot all but one of the types of ammo well. I only tried it with the first load of the 65gr Sierra Gamekings I had loaded in the RG brass and although it shot very well, the primers are noticeably flattened. This RG brass definitely seems to have a reduced capacity compared to retail .223 brass.

my mate has a sako 75 heavy barrel varmint it loves that outback 55gn blits king second only to his hand load but by f all watched him snot a magpie at just under 400m with it a couple of weeks ago it smoked it to
