THIS IS NOT A FRONTIER BLEW MY GUN UP POST

So to start off this is my personal experience with frontier 5.56 55gr BTHP, 75gr BTHP, and the .223 55gr BTHP. When I shot some groups at 50yds using a rolled up piece of carpet as a rest and shot in a fairly rapid succession with my magnified optics and also with my red dot. I used a 1-8 Accupower, MRO, and VCOG to start off. the VCOG was at 100 yds. No rear bag used at all during these groupings. I'm not caliming any max accuracy potential for these groups but more or less what someone could see at a normal range day. Below is a video on the ammo and beneath the video are some photos from the groupings with lot numbers pictures of the cases and also some 210 yd groupings on a B27 silhouette with a front bag rest.

The 75gr stuff groups very well and of the few pieces of brass I collected there were no sign of over pressure.

The link is for the 100 yd 55gr bthp 223 same lot number as the others it grouped well when I did my part. the first 5 shots are the 5 to the left of the center diamond. I dialed it over an inch and shot the rest to see how it would string if it started heating up a little bit. It's a noveske 16in CHF barrel.
