HNTNGUY Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Lol not a clue. Hyped up with adrenaline so it's as light as a feather. I'm sure when I go to hunt it will weigh a ton. I'll weigh it when I get a chance and let you know 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HNTNGUY Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Lance- not a clue! Any suggestions? I'd like to someday learn how to reload but until then I'm just gonna have to stick with factory ammo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AverageJoe Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Shoot some nosler, hornady, barnes factory ammo and see how it does. Try a few different ones and clean in between brands. Barnes has always been the most accurate but i hate the bullet itself 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duckhunter175 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Great set up!! If you are sticking with factory ammo I've had the best accuracy with HSM. I've used it in 25-06, 7mm Rem Mag and 30-06. All have shot sub-MOA on factory rifles that were bedded. Watched a great show on HSM and their manufacturing. Probably the most consistent, good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
