I shot the FN ed bullets today at 1, 150 and 200 yards. I sighted in at 100 and shot a group of 5 shots. it came in at under 2".Then I shot 5 shots at 200. They fell into a nice 3 3/4" group about 8" low. At 150 the group was about 6" low and about the same size as at 200. I shot the RN's for comparison and got nearly identical results. I shot a few clay birds on the 100 yard berm. When I tried a second group at 200 yards I got some fliers. Not sure if recoil was getting to me or I had fouling from the 40 or so shots. When I got home I cleaned the bore and got a lot of black stuff like tiny charcoal. I did not see any sign of leading.These bullets are lubed with felix lube THEN tumble lubed with Lee Liquid Alox.
please don't tell me not to double lube as these groups are better than the ones the guys next to me were getting with factory Jword's
