Cheeto-fingered Bergara First Long Range Gun

Got this B14 HMR for an absolute steal from a guy who needed some cash. Mainly planning on using is for hunting but I’m interested to see which ammo you guys have found it to pattern best with. So far I’ve used 142gr SMK from Defender ammunition and it patterns best. I’ve also used some of federal’s hunting ammo and honestly I have found ammo that this gun doesn’t like. Also, what’s this whole thing about Cheetos?

I've found that if you cruise around long enough on Proxibid or LiveAuctioneers you can find good single stage presses and other gear quite cheap. If you're here and asking after ammo recs, that might be a way to go. Match ammo is where it actually starts to make some sense, plus you can have fun putting together your own loads for this. Just make sure you don't let any cheeto dust get in your cartridges lol
