Yeah, it’s great ammo with great consistent ballistics. Why .308 is still very popular. A lot manufacturers, Hornady being another, produce very good match grade ammo for that caliber.
Outside of reloading it’s the best out there.
And as mentioned before, you start going into larger match grade ammo, you’re going to pay much more.

Still want a Barrett .50, though.

Good question. I know the differences are not that great, but I'm leaning towards the M107.
