I've had good luck with Eley EPS, Lapua Master L. and Wolf Match Extra. The cheap stuff doesn't shoot well in my gun....JT

Kimbers manual said they use Federal , but the card said Eley.My SVT spits Federal out like watermellon seeds. I buy my ammo online because easier for me to get.......Jim

Hi, this is my first post, just found the the site. My svt LOVES winchester power points. A Kimber rep. told me thats what he shot in his and I tryed them and am not dissapointed. It's like a guided missile hits right where you hold and groups tight, as good or better than card that came with gun .338. Good luck .

I have to agree with Capt Picard

, I shot 10 groups of 5 shots (after firing twenty rounds to prep the barrel) of Power Points today (they were sorted by Rim Thickness & Weight) & they were incredible. Best group was .310, worst was .895, average was about .480.

I'm a happy camper

! Next comes testing some that aren't sorted.
