I picked up a new one and am wondering what ammo shoots good through it? I'll be targeting antelope and deer with it, I tried hornady superformance 139 grain and I couldn't get a group better than 5" at 100 yards.
I did find some HSN sierra 140 grain Low recoil and I can group it around 1.5" at 100 yards. But worried about the drop and knock down power out to 400 yards with the low recoil rounds.

Thanks guys
 
I have the same gun. Mine shoots 140GR Nosler Accubond's (factory Nosler Ammo) into 1.25"- 1.50" groups at 100 yards. I haven't tried anything else, and I use the gun as my backup so I'm satisfied with the groups. I haven't shot any game with it yet, just paper.
 
Federal premium with partition and Barnes tsx. Both shoot well out of my sons
