The problem with buying match grade ammo in bulk is after enough time the magic lube on them dries up and the accuracy and consistency is usually gone.
I have seen rifles ruined from extended shooting of Thunderbolts, so avoid those for anything more than occasional plinking.
Sorry, I ain't believing it...
This has generally been my experience as well, with CCI MiniMags taking a second seat (and sometimes first) for "cheap" ammo.If you want standard velocity, CCI SV is hard to beat in performance for the price. I have a 452 FS that I probably haven't cleaned in 2-3 years. Occasionally, I will check the scope zero off a rest and rear bag from 50. It easily puts 5 shots in a 1" target paster. 1/2" groups aren't uncommon, either.
