Hey there,

I had mine and thats what I used... the old brass from FGMM..

I had my best groups by far, fairly consistent anywhere from .2x-.3x MOA, with 44gr Varget and 165 Gamekings (not the lead tip, the other ones) IIRC I seated them to the manual's oal suggestion.

I tried 168 SMK's but never was able to come close to what I did with the gamekings.

What's funny is I did a bunch of testing wiht the SMK's and never reached .5 MOA even.

But the Gamekings I just threw together a completely arbitrary load, zero testing, first time out, because I was going hunting that day and it was my first box of gamekings. I just figured 44gr would get me to at least 1moa which was sufficient for hunting but it was quite the pleasant surprise when I saw how good they really were.
