    What brand for consistency

    What brand of factory center fire ammunition has given you the best consistency between boxes and lot numbers? Do you often have to confirm your zero from box to box? I verify mine, just curious as to others opinions. I normally shoot traditional cup and core loads from federal, Winchester and Remington

    I’ve never had a bad box of really any ammunition. I guess I’ve just had good luck. I don’t shoot a lot, though. I always liked Hornady rounds.

      The only factory ammo that ive shot much of is Hornady Grendel 123 sst. Very consistent box to box.

        I've been switching everything over to Nosler trophy grade. Every gun I have loves it and its about as consistent as it gets for me.

            I've shot this type of stuff over the past few years:

            Hornady GMX
            Barnes TTSX
            HSM Trophy Gold Berger VLD
            Hornady SST

            Most of these are in a .308, and they have all been good. The Berger VLD's gave me the best accuracy, but the performance on animals was mediocre.

            I'm not real brand consistent, but Hornady and barnes are my favorites this year.

              Barnes TTSX has been the most consistent for me in both accuracy and quality. Most of the other loads I've shot haven't been bad though.

                My win model 70 300wm , loved federal classic 180gr so I bought 10 boxes same lot #
                30 years and still driving nails
                Same with federal whitetail out of a.308 win
                Federal premium is very good IMO

                    I go through phases where I shoot a couples cases a month to maybe a case every 6 months, but Hornady has performed the best for me overall. I mainly shoot Hornady 108 ELDM in 6 Creedmoor and Hornady 75 BTHP in 223. Both have shot very very well for me from box to box and lot to lot. I stick to their match ammo though, and have killed hundreds of critters with them.

                        When I shoot factory Ammo the most consistent has been Federal Premium match Ammo. I shot some of their Grendel Ammo recently with the 130 grain Berger AR Hybrid bullets.

                        10 shot string had an SD of 4 fps.

                            Probably the old green and yellow box Cor-lokt ammo from 15-20 years ago.
