[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 4469107, member: 280"] I usually handload, but when I bought my Ruger American Predator 6.5 CM last October, I didn't have time to work up a load. I tried Hornady American Whitetail 129 gr Interlocks, and Hornady Superformance 129 gr SST. The American Whitetail averaged about .8" at 100 yards, the Superformance about 1.2". I used the Am. Whitetail hunting, and got two deer and a coyote in about 15 minutes of each other. Since then I worked up some sub-MOA loads with 140 gr Speer Hot Cors and 90 gr TNTs. My gun seems to like the flat-based bullets, and at ranges less than 300 yards you really don't need the higher BC boat tail bullets. As for those two rifles, I think they're both winners. Get the one that looks and feels better to you. I have two Predators and an A Bolt II and no complaints on any of them. If the A Bolt 3 was the one with the wood stock, I think I'd go that route. Not sure I like the A B III's plastic trigger, though. [/QUOTE]
