Anyone have experience with the Federal American Eagle .223 75gr TMJ - AE223T75? This looks to be a new offering from them. If so, how is accuracy and how well does its POI compare to Speer's 75gr Gold Dot?
For 39 cents per round I think it could be a good training ammo if it shoots the same as the Gold Dots.

Looks interesting.
Seems to be the little brother of the

The .223 came out right after the Valkyrie round was released. Kind of like saying “F it, we’ll make a .223 too since we’ve got the bullets anyway”Originally Posted by Clint
I’ve got a couple boxes to fool around with but haven’t gotten the range time yet.
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

Ooooh! I'd like to get a few boxes to try out.

Didn't know about this......at .39/round it has my attention.

Velocity looks to be around 2560 from a 16" barrel.

Kinda slow but nbg for 300 yards and in. I get 2630 average out of 24 grains of Ramshot Tac under a Hornady 75 HPBT, and could probably push another 0.5 grains safely.

So I got the 75gr TMJ in today and took some quick pictures of it compared to the AE 55gr 223 (AE223BK) and Speer 75gr Gold Dots. AE 55gr on left, 75gr in middle, and Gold Dot on the right.

Weather permitting, I am hoping to shoot some groups this weekend and compare the 75gr TMJ to Speer 75gr Gold Dot, AE 55gr 223, Asym Reman 55gr 223, MEN 56gr 5.56, CBC 62gr 5.56, and Asym 77gr 223. Minnesota decided to skip fall and go straight to Winter, and we have anticipated snow on Saturday.

Cool. Thanks for posting pics. I wish Federal would quit crimping .223 pressure ammo. I keep getting it mixed in with our 223 brass and have to sort it for crimp removal.

I had a chance to go to the range today to compare this to some other ammo. Temperature was around 38 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Please note, I am not a good bench shooter, this was just me doing a quick comparison.
These two groups were at 50 yards with my suppressed build. Barrel is a 12.5" Centurion Arms and the optic was an Aimpoint Comp M5. The rifle has about 4k rounds through it, all suppressed.
