    Factory ammunition recommendations in match ammo

    What factory loads are you having the best luck with in sub MOA on 18" SPR's and 16" RECCE's?

    I have had the same experiences with black hills. Another load that I started using is PRVI match 75gr and it shoots well for me and is pretty cheap.

    Federal 69-grain Gold Medal Match is hard to beat to 300, any day of the week. It will group tighter than 75s and 77s until the wind picks up or you're shooting past 300.

    Nothing good is cheap or easy to find.

    My best groups (0.5MOA) have been with Federal Gold Medal Match and Black Hills Match I have used both 77gr through a 16" 1 in 7" twist barrel.

    I just tried federal gold medal, corbon, hornady, wolf gold, prvi, and some handloads. The wolf gold and prvi grouped slightly worse than the others but are much cheaper. If you ever plan on reloading get the corbon. It is very good ammo. The advantage of the corbon is that they use Lapua brass which is like gold to reloaders. Corbon was 4 bucks cheaper per 20 than the federal.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I've been reading an old thread on the ammunition/reloading forum involving some really good results with Varget powder and 75 gr. projectiles. Ultimately I'll probably go this route with the Hornady 75 HPBT's or 77gr. Sierra match kings (cannelured).

    I did get very good results with one box of Federal 69gr. match and Fiocchi 69gr. match so I'm pretty open to that bullet weight as well.

    Black Hills 77SMK has always been good.

    Federal Tactical Bonded Core that shoots well but its very difficult to get (not more accurate than 77SMK).
