I recently bought 100 rds of ammo from Conley for my 280 Remington. I don't reload (no time) and I was looking for custom loads for my upcoming moose hunt. I ordered 60 rds of 175gr NP and 40 rds of 100gr HP (for yotes). I finally got to the range this morning to sight in my rifle with the 175. I started out with a few rounds of 150gr core-lockt just to see what the difference would be. The 175 was about 1.5 inches lower at 100yds and it grouped very nicely. I was able to repeat 4-shot groups in a 1.5 circle repeatedly. I did let the barrel cool between groups, but probably not as much as I should have. About half way through my session, I ran a cleaning patch and brush through the barrel, when I was done, the barrel still looked very clean. I was a bit nervous when I ordered from CPC because I had not seen much info on them on THR. I received my shipment in about 7 weeks. Upon visual inspection the ammo looked great, no dings, clean brass, etc... I did notice that the HP rounds have some corn cob pieces in them from polishing but I can't imagine that will make any difference on ballistics or bullet performance. The ammo is nicely packaged and clearly labeled. I thought the prices were very reasonable (included shipping).

I will order from them again without hesitation.

When I get a chance to shoot the 100gr I'll post if there is anything unexpected.
