It’s written on the test target. In my 375 Hornady 300grain DGS, my 416 Hornady 400 grain, ‘06 Federal 165 grain.

Mostly Hornady.

In the past, they also used Kynamco until the firm closed down last year.

I checked withe the team and they responded that the brand of ammunition used to regulate the iron sites on the Big Game rifles is determined by availability. The ammunition used is always recorded on the test target that comes with the gun, but not recorded in the company ledger. I hope that is helpful and sorry I can’t provide you with more specific details.

I have a Shikari on order with them. If you wish you can specify the ammunition they use. In my case they are going to regulate the rifle with ammunition developed for me by Lonnie at Superior.

Hi Franz - thank you so much for the authoritative answer. I have a strong desire to purchase a new rifle with Geoff Lignon's amazing engravings and was just curious on the ammo used (which is variable thanks to everyone's response). The fact you took the time to research the answer and provide a direct response just tipped the balance in opening the checkbook!
