So I just bought some of this ammo, the price was OK so it's my once per month purchase. I've been looking for reviews of this vs. the usual 55gr. fodder I normally use. Is this good stuff? Should I expect some change in impact vs. a 55gr. bullet?

Ball is ball, in my mind. It should shoot better than M855 run with bulk 55 gr ammo. This is based on my experience with Fiocci 62 gr fmj. Its not match ammo, obviously.Quote:

Where’d you find that? My KAC shoots 62gr FMJs really well.
So I opened it up yesterday and they are painted/colored green on the tip. So I guess they are AP ? They are not listed as such and I have not had a chance to try them at any significant distance.
Then they’re M855. Are they labeled as such?Quote:

Actually, one issue with a magnet is you can't be sure that if there is a steel, it's in the jacket or the core.
