i have just been using the power shock ammo and although i havn't had a chance to try it on any game it groups at about 3/4 inch at 100 yards off a bench out of my stevens 200 in .223

I bought 100 of them because i read in a few places that the cases where ok to reload. I don't have any reloading gear yeat but will keep saving cases for when i can afford some gear.

HTH a little but hopefully someone who has used the line of ammo you are looking at can comment

I haven't tried that ammo, but Federal Premium is usually good stuff, and the Sierra 39 is THE .204 bullet, so it's likely to be good quality ammo.

ditto Glenn on the 39bk.

Jasbec on AHN bought my 204, I think he told me he tried some of those and they did OK.

PM him and ask next time you are on AHN
