Very accurate by George V Bradshaw, Verified Owner, January 5, 2024
Ordered 5 boxes of this .223 for my T/C Contender, as I’ve been having accuracy problems with FMJ ammo. These rounds print sub-MOA with 7 rounds less than 1/2” - basically a ragged hole! Plan to order 10 more boxes at this great price.

Bought these to stock up because the round did so well during hunting season. Shot an 8 p1oint buck, at approx. 75yds. He ran approx. 30 yds before dropping, wound was devastating.

Ammo is so hard to come by right now! This ammo was available, shipped fast, and was exactly as described. These worked fantastic on coyotes and even smoked a few prairie dogs while I was at it! I didn't have any issues bringing down the coyotes.
