Will it fly the same as the 55gr fmj? Like if I have my scope sighted in perfectly for the fmj will this round have the same impact spot

Answered by SnoGunGuy, member, from ID, United States, on May 30, 2025

Possibly. You can have tights groups, but Every manufacturer is different and even within the same mfg and the same bullet weight but different lots, your shot groups can vary locations on the target from you initial zero. 0-150m, shooting center of mass,... probably wouldn't matter.

Does hornady make the flex tip ammo in 5.56 also?

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on February 14, 2022

Hornady does not make the Flex Tip ammo in 5.56. However, Hornady recently developed a similar line of ammo for 5.56 with there CX bullet which we currently do not have available.
