A friend gifted me a box of True Velocity .308 ammo. I took them to the range today to see what they would do and here are the results. One pierced primer and two blown necks. These cartridges are advertised to be the latest and greatest but the results say otherwise. The blown (separated) necks required the chambering (partial) of another round to extract. The pierced primer was a total surprise as I have never before experienced one in thousands of rounds fired. Imagine if you are hunting and shoot at a game animal and require a quick follow up shot. I chronographed the twenty rounds and had an ES of 42 on rounds that are supposedly loaded to 0.01 grains. These TV cartridges are junk. Don't waste your money. BTW, my rifle is a Howa 1500 mounted on an MTG ESS chassis. It typically shoots 3/4 to 1 moa at 200 yards and has never given me a problem in 450 firings. I shoot hot loads too.
