Don't have a Chrono yet, but they were factory ammo Hornaday match eldm. I'm honestly not sure if it was just a bad batch or what cause federal, Sako and even Winchester USA ready were all shooting significantly better that day than the hornady.

I just picked up 300 123gr Sierra match king for $60 each. Will see how they shoot.

So far my tikka loves Sako trg for factory ammo. And based on the projectile, and velocity. knowing they use vihta vuori powder, the load from VV using N555 is identical info as listed on the box.

I’ve been seeing some bad SD and ES for Hornady match ammo. SD in the 20s and ES in the 60s. Also 123gr SMK has much lower BC.

Fair, I didn't look up what the BC was but from when I've shot other weights from them my rifle seems to like them.

But seriously when I mean a horrible group I'm talking over a 2" group at 100 yards with hornady on two 5 shot groups. When everything else was just over a 1" or a sub 1" group. At $65/ box with tax to me that's unacceptable when $38 ammo is shooting better.

Yeah over 1 moa and call it “match “ is unacceptable for sure.

I'm happy the Sako shoots so well cause it's good brass for reloading
