Ally Munitions Notes
Hornady lists this load at 3,285 fps, and early impressions confirm it delivers on speed and consistency.
Initial testing has yielded 1 MOA average group sizes, fired suppressed through a mix of factory and custom-built 22 Creed platforms.
We are preparing for a larger sample velocity test using multiple barrel lengths and rifles. More detailed data — including SDs, velocity curves, and group consistency metrics — will be published soon.
Field Use
We are currently in the evaluation phase and have not yet begun field testing, but the velocity and bullet design suggest it will be well-suited for long-range predator work, particularly coyotes and bobcats. We will report back with real-world results after the fall season.
