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.

Honestly I wasn’t impressed with these. They’re good plinkers and I can get 2MOA out of them, but the HPBTs were a cent or two more and I get sub MOA easily

I grabbed some of these,yea just blamo-ammo stuff,but hey there out there so get what ya can. Although it seems that there are a decent amount of Match/Quality bullet still out there. These are around .10 cents each plus Grafs typical $9.95 shipping.

This is it. ^^
I'd grab some of the FMJ for slamming steal because the reduced velocity compared to 55 gr is nice. But other than that, the HPBT were too close in price.

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.
