I shot 8 different brands of ammo through my Stevens 15-A today. All targets were shot with ten rounds at 25 yards. The bullet pasters are one inch square. The groups that are circled I considered useable for 'coon hunting. Taking into account the rifle is 60 years old and I'm not as steady as I used to be, some of the groups aren't too bad.

#3- Federal load no. 745, 36 gr., copper plated, hollow point, 1260 fps
#4- Winchester white box, 36 gr. copper plated hollow point, 1280 fps
