      have you tried the 147g version? i can get either the 140 or 147g about the same price. thinking if i should get the 147g as it has better BC

        Every gun is different.
        Test YOUR gun before you buy a bunch of a single kind of ammo as your gun might not like the kind that other people's guns liked...

          i know.. i did that with my CZ455.. but since i'm running low on time before the 1/1... figured get the ammo first.

            Hornady American Gunner shot well in mine. Dirt cheep, all under .5 moa and brass to roll my own after I finish three boxes.
            Like others said your rifle may vary.

              sweet.. good to hear. picked up 200 of those today, along with some ELD 147g & 140g. maybe should pick up some more of the american gunner.

                +1 on this ammo.
                I purchased some 140 ELDM bullets and crafted some nice reloads in Nosler brass...VERY good results in my RPR.
                It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.

                  You got lucky. I bought a few hundred rounds of it and it will shoot good 2 to 3 rounds then shoot way off. I put my lab radar on it and was laughing. Average extreme spread was 70 with one 5 shot group extreme spread was 107. Good times.

                  When one shot out of the group I would look at the radar and it was way off avg velocities.

                    interesting... i never heard of the american gunner.. so figured i buy 200rd for break in the barrel.
