I notice for hornady, for me, that it matters what lot# the factory ammo is. Within a lot# it sometimes, not always, shoots ok. Go to a different lot#, and your MVs will differ sometimes significantly.
Was all of this from 1 or several lots?
Another point, as far as hdy factory goes. Sometimes it will shoot well for an 18", or 20", or my 22" bolt action, but most times, not for all of them out of the same lot#.
So when I buy it I have to figure it's kind of a roll of the dice, as far as what rifle ti will be good for. Or not.
Those numbers seem like quite a spread to me, even though some of their factory stuff will show 20-25 ES at times in mine. If it happens to be on a wide node, then it will group ok at 100, at farther distances, all bets are off though.
