I saw these things available at a steep discount this morning at a certain local store so I snagged a few boxes. Never shot with them (or heard of this particular round for that matter) but I figured I'd give them a shot, worst case they'll serve as extra zeroing ammo. Normally things with silly branding like "Power Shok" I would avoid, but whatever, I was short on .308 anyway.
I wondered if any of you have used them at longer ranges, out to say 1000 yards, and if so, if your experience was good or bad. On paper they seem like they'd be suitable, but I also feel like there might be some steep dropoff once it reaches that distance. Did I just get a passable long range cartridge? Or was it discounted for a reason and I just picked up a bunch of garbage?
For reference my only .308 rifle is an AT308 which I shoot suppressed, which has a 1:12 twist.
(edited, had wrong version of the cartridge linked)
