    Wanting to try - Federal Blue 150gr SP in .308

    Does anyone have 1/2 a box they can slide me to test it in a rifle. Dont fancy paying $60 only to find that it along with every other ammo ive tried doesn't shoot well in my kimber.

    Located Chch

    Cheers

    From what I've heard, Federal blue box shoots well in alot of rifles.
    Good luck.

    Might be worth trying the Belmont 150gr as well if you haven't already . Both that and the blue box are what my Tikka prefers over the rest I have tried .
