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.

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.

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.

Anyone have more experience with this, especially at distance? I’m wondering if it’d be a waste of money to try this at 500m vs standard 55gr AE.

I used it all season last year for competition. I took it out to 475 with a 1-4x on a 16” on steel chest plates. It worked well enough I’m not considering switching to OTMs.

Good to hear. This piques my curiosity.

Interesting. Velocity seems quite a bit lower than standard M193 (not a surprise) so I wasn’t sure if it work well, but I assume it’s a little bit more accurate and consistent which makes up for that?
