I have been reloading ammo for over 20 years primarily for target and hunting. As hard as I try, I can't make loads more accurate than these for my ar10. Concentricity varies by up to 15 on my lot number but didn't hinder performance shooting out to 1000yrds.

Tried reloading at first....bought a box of both of the Hornady listings, the Match 147gr gave me .250 groups out of my AR10 Creedmoor... Bought a case...can't reload as accurate ammo hardly.... Thankyou Target Sports for the quick and easy shopping trip.
Russell B.
This is my first order of the 147. I have shot the same ammo in the 140 grain and it is an AWESOME ammo. Very accurate and very consistent. Reliable shooting to 1250 yards. I am sure the 147 can take us to 1400 yards. Hornady makes good stuff.
