Federal AE 62gr. FMJ Ammo

[Face_N_The_Crowd]

I just received 1k of Fed AE Fusion Soft Point.

I fired 20 rounds just to function test it and an new SF can - both were great.

I intend to chorno out of a 10.5 and a 18 and shoot for accuracy out of the 18 against BHP 75s and my home rolled 77's.

I'll post when done.

ps ammoman.com is cheaper if you are buying 1k rounds.

pss - mine are headstamped SPEER

Face,

That is where I got mine as well. Just wanted to see what the thoughts on it were especially from Doc. Thanks for your input.

Bump for Doc's thoughts too. I read unconfirmed reports that these were created for the Feds (ICE, IIRC) so I am hopeful that there was some thought and testing behind them.

...the small amount of PP I've used stamped '07 has been good runnin' ammo for me...193, 855 and the 75gr...about 2k rds. in all...I think that Fusion stuff @ ammoman is my next buy...Surprised they haven't sold out yet...

Anyone have any experience with the Federal red box 62gr. FMJ ammo? Reliability, functioning, accuracy, etc....

While I am at it. Winchester white box M855 ammo as well. Thanks.

I just ran a few boxes of new Win 855 through my new LMT 10.5 and it ran good. No issues. Small sample though. Maybe 100 rounds.

Update for Chrono info:

Temp 85 degrees / #s for SPR based on two (2) ten (10) rnd strings averaged together. SBR #s are one (1) ten (10) rnd sting.

AE 62 grn Fusion Soft Pnt / 18" Noveske SPR - 2,848 fps
BH 75 gn (Red Box) / 18" Noveske SPR - 2695 fps

AE 62 grn Fusion Soft Pnt / 10.5" LMT SBR - 2,426 fps
BH 75 grn (Red Box) / 10.5" LMT SBR - 2,319 fps

Accuracy notes on AE 62 grn from the SPR - unimpressive. I shot 2 groups of 5 both supressed and unsupressed at 100 and 2 groups of 5 at 200 supressed. It is 1.5 MOA ammo; 1 MOA for the best group (5 rnd supressed group @ 100). BH 75s were basically .8 MOA for both 100 and 200 while home rolled 77s were 0.6 MOA for 100 and 200.



Good luck
