Seasoning a new build
I bought these for my newly built AR-10 to season the barrel. I fired over forty shots through a brand new rifle and had groups at 30 yards and 100 yards without a zero that were under 2 inches. After actually zeroing the rifle, I put two groups of three of this Hornady Black in dime sized holes at 100 yards. I can't wait to go somewhere with long ranges so I can really test it out.

Hornady ammunition is one of the best on the market and I would recommend it to everyone.

308 ammo that is proven to be better than the rest.
When your life is on the line, why would you suddenly for anything less than perfect. This 308 ammo shoots straighter. I can definitely feel the difference with this ammo. My clusters on the target are 1inch to 2 inches apart. But what makes it great is alot less kick, I'm able to get back on target quicker with faster trigger pulls. ???? I can even see a difference when cleaning my AR 10. Go big or go home.

Awesome stuff!
Bought this to zero at 300 and be able shoot 1000 with my 308 RPR by subtending w/o the need to adjust the Vortex PST FFP. Pros: Repeatable hits at 300, with a 1.5" grouping.

Nice Tight Grouping from 308
Ran 20 Rds though my DPMS LR 308 w 24" Bull Barrel and got a really nice grouping at 100 yards, under 0.5 MOA. Really happy with them so far
