Does anyone have experience with these? If so, what are your thoughts on them, especially as compared with respect to Hornady's comparable 55 gr. offering?

I go though lots of these, majority of what I shoot. I chose them because its easy to make them roughly match the zero of the 68-70 gr projectiles that I also shoot, without pushing the pressure limits. They work with lots of powders. They are inexpensive and accurate enough, so I use them mostly for training at 0-300m. They’ll do 500 in a pinch, no problem. And they have no steel core, which is a bonus.Originally Posted by Submariner
The 55s are probably just as good to 300 or so, but I like having ammo that I can shoot 500yd matches with if I need to, without changing my zero too much. 55 drifts a little more, too, but I don’t think it makes a big difference vs 62 FMJ.

Good bullets, but after the 62 HPBTWCs were available in the previous few years, there was no reason to shoot the regular FMJs.
I think someone here was selling a bunch off in the EE, but at 13 cents delivered, I passed on them. We don't shoot much FMJ at all, so I try to get them cheap as possible.

These were/are an unbelievable value.

Shooting through a couple K of them right now. Shoot just fine for a FMJ quasi economy bullet. About 2 MOA out of my guns.

Yes, only 2¢ more for the 62 HPBT. Are any of y’all really working up sub minute loads with 62s? I mean, I’m sure it could be done, but I’m not sure why you’d go through the effort. I’d use heavier bullets for precision work.

I did the “M4C” load of 24.5gr TAC, Wolf SRM, and 55gr fmjbt and shot the best 5 shot group of my life at about 0.574”. Maybe a fluke, but I was happy enough that I didn’t load dev any further lol
This was from a Noveske SS 16” that shot Nosler 77’s pretty routinely ~0.75” groups
ETA: Correction - it was 24.2gr that gave me that group. 24.5gr put them in 1.045”.

Yeah, I like these bullets alot. In my guns, they're great over 24.4gr of H335 or 26.0gr of BLC-(2). Either load shoots at around an inch at 100 in my 18" BA barreled gun. 3" at 225, farthest I've yet shot them to date. 5 shot groups.
