If you have one, What factory ammo does yours like?

Have had it for a couple years now and am still looking.
Shooting a hand load that shoot 3/4” in another rifle and, they are about 2” in the Ranch.
I’m not complaining though cause so far it’s killed what I’ve shot with it.

Ive shot federal 5o gr tipped varmint and they shoot about an 1" but trying to close it up some more. mine seems to like the lighter bullets, ive shot some 75 gr and it was all over the place

Factory loads I have shot

Win white box 45jhp- 2-2.5”
Rem 55sp. ~2”
Rem 40jhp ~1.5”
Hornady 55 v-max ~1.5”
Hornady steel match 75bthp. ~3.5”
Federal blue box 55sp ~3”
Win 60 Nosler Partition. ~2.5”
Speer 60GDSP. ~3”

I have chingos of those handloads so I’ll just keep shooting them till they stop killing what I shoot at.

I have the compact 223 and it will shoot handloaded 77 nosler CC into 1/2" and 60 grain nosler ballistic tips into tiny holes for a 3 shot group. My son is shooting deer and hogs with the 64 grain WW hog specials and it will do under an inch.
