Thinking about using it in an SPRish build...

What says the hive?

Have any of you tried it? Resluts? < lol... I just noticed that I typed "reSLUTS" instead of "results."

I didnt have much luck with superperformance. I was getting 4MOA with it out of a 20 inch 1:8 HBAR. Same rifle shoots Hornady steel match at MOA. Each gun likes different ammo. I have read others like it. Get a box and try it. I tried 6 or 8 different ammos before i settled on a couple that my gun liked.

Wow. Well I bought a couple of boxes. I'll see what it does for me. Thanks.

Ive had pretty good luck with it so far. Ive got a 2.5inch group at 100 yards out of my 12.5in with an Aimpoint Micro T-1 4moa, I know thats not great compared to what some people shoot at that distance but I do feel like the aimpoint is holding it back a little.

Here is a thread with a little bit more info on the round
