I bought some winchester CXP2 shells...

[powder burner]

I bought these for my 7-08 and was not very impressed. At 100 yards, I had 4 shot,6 inch groupings.

I have pulled the rest and used the brass for reloading. Have any of you tried them, and what were your results? Maybe its just my rifle that does not like them.

I have loaded my own shells and they do not do this in my rifle.

Which bullet were they loaded with? "CXP2" is just the rating they give for deer-sized game.

 

[powder burner]

They were 140 grain bullets.

Those loads worked ok in my Model Seven SS. About 1.5 MOA IIRC.

Winny makes Ballistic Silvertip in 140- and Fail Safe in 140. What did you buy?

 

[Dustin]

They were 140 grain bullets.

140 grain power-point, 140 grain Ballistic Silvertip...what were the bullets?

 

[BIGREDD]

I'll bet they were the 140 fail-safe bullets.... absolute junk.
