    Here's a picture of BH 55 gr FMJ remanufactured and BH 60 gr SP new:





    Which would you prefer to shoot in your AR, and why?

    For a 1/7 twist weapon, blue box 77gr. Don't need shiny brass (which is what your paying for with the red box).

    Isn't Blue Box "remanufactured" meaning reloaded using once-fired brass while Red Box is manufactured using virgin brass? The Red Box cartridges also appear to have sealed primers while those in the Blue Box do not.

    In answer to the question, the soft point rounds might get their tips deformed during the feed cycle as they are stripped from the mag and make their way into the chamber. At worst, there might be a FTF; at best, loss of accuracy.

    If you gave them to me for free, I would shoot them both.

    I pick the 55 gr remanufactured because they use military brass and have the primers crimped in which is kinda hard to tell, the 55 gr FMJ also have a cannelure which is not present on the 60 grain soft points, not visible in pic - sorry.

    My remanufactured ammo from Black Hills always looks shiney as new, they've done a great job on the stuff I have bought.

    I have some Federal XM193 that has some black stuff on some cases, anybody know what it might be?:
