Hendershots loaded me some custom Swede ammo with DRT bullets I sent in. The groups shoot fantastic ant 100 yards and shoot well over 300 yards so far in testing. Also the ammo has very good std dev of velocity in the chronograph. They are top notch for reliable ammo!

I ordered a box of 6.5×55 Swedish ammo with 130 gr Sierra Tipped Gameking bullets recently. They easily grouped at under 0.5” at 100 yards with a spread of under 9 fps and a SD of 4.2 fps. That is absolutely phenomenal quality and shows the care that Hendershot’s puts into making every single round. I can’t wait to try this ammo during deer season.
