Nosler Match Grade Centerfire Rifle Ammo – .223 Remington – 77 Grain

Bought this a few months ago now, but of all the ammo I've tried in my Axis (which is a LOT) this groups the best at the range. I had two 5 shot 0.6" groups at 100yds, best I've had yet. Twist rate in the axis is 1:9, which is obviously enough for these heavy 77Gr bullets. Although these are meant for competition, the expansion I was seeing makes me think it would be a decent cartridge for smaller deer (ie. Queen Charlotte blacktails)

I bought this ammo for my 6.5CR at the same time as some nosler trophy grade for my 300wsm... After shooting the trophy grade... I had dismal expectations (but thats another review) - and had those expectations blown away - the range I was at only goes to 200 yards - but I shot four 5 shot groups the largest of which was 0.76 inches, the smallest was 0.62. Quite impressed

Bought 17 boxes (340 rounds) of Nosler 140 Grain RDF Match 6.5 Creedmoor ~100 fps slower than Hornady 140 grain ELD Match in my Tikka T3x Tac A1 rifle $10.00 more/box at Cabela's than the Hornady At least 1 round from each box wouldn't load into chamber... for the price you are paying, I find this inacceptable.
