Has anyone tried these in your handi? What did you think of them? They're $49.99/200 here. Thanks

I have always found Federal ammo to shoot well, I have not seen that ammo yet so if you get a chance to try it please post your results here. What is the bullet grain weight and style? HP, SP or what?....<><.... :grin:

50 gr sp As soon as I pick up the rifle I think this will be the first rounds it's fed so I'll post what I see. If Ican figure out the picture posting I'll include a pic of the targets ( if they are worthy of a pic)

Yes, please let us know! That's a great price if it shoots good, not so good if it doesn't!!! :?

I seen these but have yet to try them. I wanted to try a smaller box, just incase my rifle didn't like them and me be out of $50 on ammo that shoots crappy. But I doubt that, like MSP said most all Federal ammo is high quality and shoots well. Actually I find Federal ammo shoots better in most all my rifles than the almost all other manufactures.
Keep us posted.

Have any of you had trouble with Federal cartridges misfiring? I actually quit buying Federal ammunition for this reason. Seems like every other box of cartridges (this was in my 30-06), I'd get a FTF.

Perhaps, it was just my luck. I don't know.

I tried those. Stil have a lot left. They shot pretty good but not as good a group from my 223 Ultra as the Winchester 45gr. varmint round.
