    Factory Ammo trials pay it forward thoughts

    Hi, Here's something I've been thinking about for a long time.

    Scenerio - A member buys a rifle, either new or second hand and they post on here "What ammunition does your XXX calibre rifle like?". Then from they go off and buy 3 or 4 boxes of different brands/weights in factory ammo and shoot them off.
    The problem is, that with ammo prices rising it's not cheap and you're usually left with some ammo that didn't shoot well.

    How about this for a proposal - A "Factory ammo pay it forward" thread.

    1. Members who use factory ammo for their rifle list it in a new section, along with approx location they live e.g. "Federal 243 power shok 80gr: ChCh".
    2. Any member who buys a new gun in a new caliber (for them), buys a box of cheapest ammo they can find to sight their rifle in, even if it's only FMJ or Privi. Just get it within 4 inches of the bull.
    3. They look for the new caliber in this thread.
    4. Then pm a member who has posted in their location with the same caliber.
    5. Both arrange to meet and new gun owner borrows 6 rounds.
    6. New gun owner shoots the 6 rounds at the range and sees how they group in his gun. If he likes the grouping then he buys a box of the same ammo and gives the original owner 6rds back.


    Could this work?
