I think that the Federal and Winchester loads did not fare nearly as well at nearly a kilometer, but that\u2019s a reflection of the muzzle velocities of the two loads and the ballistic coefficients (BC) of their 168-grain projectiles, not the quality of the ammunition.

Out of my test rifle with its 24-inch barrel, the Black Hills load with the 175-grain Sierra MatchKing was by far the most accurate at 1000 yards with three-shot groups (fired when the wind was relatively steady) approaching 1.25 minute-of-angle (MOA). I had no problem in hitting an IPSC silhouette target at that range, as long as I watched the wind flags, it had pretty good gun performance for firing off the ground from a bipod with factory fodder. Had I the benefit of a scope of 24x or greater and the use of a sturdy tripod rest and bench, I think that accuracy approaching 1 MOA at 1000 yards would be within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
