I used freshly formed Lake City brass, CCI SRP, 18.2 grains H110 (all from the same pound bottle), and Hornady 130 SP's. I think the first four rounds speak to the accuracy of the round as well as when I take mine and my cold-bore shots (one shot only, just like hunting) is always spot on left/right and 2" high at 100 yards. Was busy again this weekend and still not shot mine for a 10 round group. I am off Friday and will try to get that done after my morning squirrel hunt. I don't want to pretend like I know much of anything, because I don't. These things are very frustrating. I think Hornady makes a good product. My BiL did make some rounds that shoot a tighter pattern than my Hornady off the shelf rounds for my gun, but I was always happy with my Horandy. At a certain point I feel like we're splitting hairs, because I'm not shooting 200yds or longer. I have a hammer, so I don't need to drive nails with it. LOL I did see a test once on three different ammo brands of varying prices. It did seem to indicate that one gets what one pays for, but I'm not smart enough to know why. I'm curious to hear how it does.

Dennis, I have Hornady seconds bullets that I load for my wife's rifle and they print in one hole at 100 yards. I would not count on them for match grade accuracy for long range, but I can't tell the difference between them and first-run bullets at 100.
There is nothing like putting together a load that prints little cloverleafs and then taking game with your home-rolled ammo!
