Challenger ammo
Seems to burn cleaner than Remington, Federal, Winchester & Fiocchi. At 1250 FPS it is comparable to all the others. Need to put a full flat through my trap guns to sort out a final opinion. For the price point the Challenger round is a good buy. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase more.
