Hi budget ammunition connoisseurs, assuming you are, because you are considering or have purchased this product and are wondering how others have faired. Here's the rundown from my point of view. The bullets are fantastic, of course. Hornady HPBT in 75 grain, wha's not to like? Metal case...hit or miss. depends on your chamber. ??? .223 Wylde....big thumbs up. Something about the Wylde enhances or compensates the steel case. Anything other than, well, you're at the mercy of compromise IMHO. Its one of these deals where you make sure you're doing your part. Make sure your rifle is correct and running right and just cross your fingers and hope you can run steel match in your weapon. If you can, it is some fine shooting ammo. at worst, its better than most bulk ammo. Just a tip here. pull the .25 cent bullet, Measure your powder load, press a .15 cent 55 grain plinking bullet back in its place. Use the 75 grain in a fire formed hand loaded case. There you have a pretty good hand load and a pretty good plinker, Both... for the price of mid grade brass target grade round. If you want the short story. I can group well inside 6" at 400 yards with it. That's means you can grab your pack and rifle and run as fast as you can through the corn field for a whole minute and I can still knock your hat off. That's what we all want isn't it. to be able to knock each others hats off. :)

Very Impressed with this ammo, one of if not the best factory ammos I've tried. Since I just got it, I've only shot it a 50yds and it's consistence at 1/2" MOA
