Winchester vs Federal ammo..
Since this forum doesn't appear to be to active I'll give you the Readers Digest version.. Several tests at 25, 50 and 100 yards, Savage Mark II ( no accutrigger ) GXP with a Tasco factory supplied scope from a bench using only a bipod. Winchester Super X lead rn 40 grain printed around a dime at 25, a nickel at 50 and 4 to 5 inches at 100 with occasional flyers. Bullet drop was a tad over 7 inches approx since I was aiming higher than any red lines..
Federal HP copper clad ( unknown grain ) printed a nickel at 25, 2 to 3 inches at 50 and missed a 14 by 17 inch target numerous times at 100 yards, no discernable grouping. I have no idea what the drop was because of the lack of grouping wasn't able to be ascertained. Guess I need an old B-27 police target.
This was repeated several times and the results were remarkably the same. A clear winner for Super X at least for this rifle and this batch of bullets. And note, Federal was always my choice if any were available. Anyone had similar results ?
