DRT Ammo?


COBrien

Recommended Posts

I've been intrigued by DRT ammo for awhile now. Even picked up some .223 a year or so ago, but, well, haven't been to the range to even give it a test run.

Having said that, I got an e-mail from DRT today saying they were having a 15% off sale on all their Ten Ring ("traditional") rifle ammo.

So I ordered up 100 rounds of Ten Ring .308. 168 gr. Sierra Match Kings, advertised at 2682 fps. $16.49/20. Cheaper than I've found FGMM 168s in quite awhile...

I've got some FGMM 168 in the safe, and my rifle seems to prefer it. Planning on comparing the Ten Ring to the FGMM.

 

I also ordered 20 rounds of their DRT lead-free Terminal Shock (the powdered core stuff). 175 gr., external appearance is strikingly similar to SMK, advertised at 2600 fps. $49.49/20. Ouch.

Anyone have any experience with DRT? I keep reading that their Terminal Shock is devastating on game. I'd planned to use it for hogs and coyotes, if it shoots well. But damn, it's expensive.
