RE: Winchester XP3 ammo ???
I just got a box of 150grs this past weekend and tried them. I had sighted the gun in with Gxp2 150gr ballistic tips and the XP2 Supreme Elites grouped about 1/8" higher. I'm not even going to touch the scope. I'm not a big bllistic tip fan and I think these XP's will be better for penetration and knock down.
I wanted to find some federal partitions but like you said they are scarce for some reason. Not sure.
The only thing I don't like about this gun is the ammo selection...which I think will get better with time....and the fact that you can't just go try a box of ammo for it b/c it cost $40 per box. Hopefully that will get better w/time as well!!!!!
Otherwise I can't wait to pop a deer with it!
