Hey guys,
I noticed some retailers selling Prvi Partizan 168g BTHP .308 match ammo, so I picked some up to see how it compared to Federal Gold Medal Match ammo. It was just a bit more than half the price of Federal.
Pretty darn good results as you can see here.
Weapon:
Savage 110FP
24 inch barrel
Bell & Carlson Stock
Bushnell Elite 3200 10x mil dot scope
Conditions:
~92 degrees F
3-5 mph crosswind
100 yard range
Rifle was shot off a 6 inch bipod up front and a little sand bag in the rear. Obviously hot so there was a bit of mirage.
I began the test after firing 4 rounds. I shot 3 shots Prvi Partizan (PP) and then 3 shots Gold Medal Match (GMM), then went back and put 2 more rounds through each group, for a total of 5 shots in each group.
Here are the results:
Each square on the target is one inch. I don't have any super accurate calipers to determine exact group size, but that will give you some idea.
5 rounds of GMM. Man those bottom 2 shots sure killed me...
5 rounds of PP.
Here's another 5 rounds of GMM.
For the shots not at the bullseye, I put the first mil-dot to the left or right of the crosshair on the bullseye.
Sorry for crappy pictures, these were taken with a cell phone and then auto-balanced in photoshop to try to make them look a little better. Good camera is at the lake..
