Confirmed: Pvri .308 Match ammo sucks.

[gotime242]

After reading a recent thread about .308 Prvi Partizan Match (FMJ BT 175grn) i was pretty concerned about my recent purchase of almost 200 round of it. Turns out i was correct to be concerned.

I shot it using a Rem 700 26" Varmint on a harris bi-pod with a bushnell 3200 10x scope. The gun/I consistantly shoot .7 to .8 moa (it still has the sps stock) with this set up and Fed GGM ammo. The prvi shot 3-4 moa, i cant believe it could be so bad. Overall it was VERY inconsistant.

Changed nothing other than ammo, used pvri:





Its too bad really, considering the prvi is half the price of the fed, but oh well, guess this is the reason.

Thanks for the ammo I have seen it out there now I know.

That confirms that your rifle doesn't like that particular load. It could easily be a different story in another rifle.

Too bad. It is very good in the .223 offerings.

Maybe it was just a bad batch.

Jimmy - Yes, you are correct. Some rifles may do ok with it, however as you can see in that other thread...many do not.

seems kinds funny all the federal groups are 3 shot and the privi are 5 shot or more.. there are rifles that shoot the stuff good though

But most must agree FGMM is liked by many many rifle
