FNH FS2000 Best Ammo?

[stealthman]

I recently bought an FS2000 and was wondering what ammo/load people were getting the best accuracy with. So far I learned it doesn't like Win 45gr frangible and all the 55fmj stuff I tried. It shot three 3 shot groups right around an inch with Federal tipped 50gr. I'll try some hand loads with heavier bullets as well. Anyone found a bullet/load the FS2000 really likes?

I have a friend who has one. The trigger is something that horror stories are written about. I would say that I have never shot it small than around an inch. I probably have run 2500 through it. We usually shoot 55gr TAP ammo.

I put a Neu-Trigger on it and that helps quite a bit. Still a bet long trigger, but I can print a group now. I'll try some TAP ammo.

I'll pass on the trigger fix. However about all it kills is steal people in my back yard. Good luck brother.

If you can find the components, perhaps the 77 grain Sierra OTM load will work well.

While I do not have direct experience with your rifle, the 7 twist rifles I have experimented with do like that bullet. FWIW, I don't think the bullet goes to sleep until somewhere after 100 yards, as the groups at 200 are really quite nice hovering at just around an inch, which is what they do at 100.

Good luck with your shootin' iron.
