Thread: Advice on standard ammo vs premium ammo...

The blue box Federal runs 150 gn Speer Hotcore. Great pill for hunting and if your rifle shoots it well then stick with it. The one downside is that it has the BC of a brick, so realistically best not to push it behind 300 yards. Most deer shot in NZ are 200 yard sale or less. You could try the Hornady 150 ELDx and if they shoot accurately in your rifle then you can extend your range to 500 or so. Or if you know some one who can reload for you then the worlds your oyster
