Ammo:
S&B 6.5 CM, 140gr FMJ
Rifle:
Ruger American 6.5 Stainless
Vortex Diamondback FFP 4-16
Picked up a four boxes of this stuff from a local vendor as I knew it shot well.
I wanted to plink without loading ammo right now so it was a win-win. $13/box for Sub-MOA ammo outta the box.
50 yards: 1 hole
100 yards: 1 hole -ish (oblong)
200 yards:
.475 MOA at 200. Not bad.
Then you see, round #3 and # 19 from the box did this:
After communication with S&B regarding their brass blowing out, they blamed their hard brass and an oversized chamber on the Ruger. No brass that I've used prior has had any issues like this. Sadly I wish I could have shot the rest of the boxes that day, I would have they were shooting so good.
Needless to say; ammo is going back to S&B and I'm getting a refund.
Sure shot good.
