Great!!!!!!!!
"Great!!!!!!!!"
worked well ,
"worked well , but the velocity around 70 fps slower then advertised ."
The velocity is lower
"The velocity is lower than expected which seems to be what other people have noticed. The SD is ok but not Berger levels."
amazing ammo, nice shooting
"amazing ammo, nice shooting with this round from hornady precision hunter. fast shipping from target sports usa."
This shoots significantly slower
"This shoots significantly slower than Federal eldx. My chrono had this 200fps slower compared to federal. Federal was just shy of the advertised 3000fps. Great price for this ammo but for hunting spend a bit of more and get the federal eldx, faster speed and maximum energy. Both Hornady and Federal group great but the slow speed of Hornady is too slow!"
