Hornady does not state the COAL of the Hornady Frontier 5.56x45mm NATO 75 grain Boat Tail Hollow Point ammo. I recommend contacting Hornady for that information.

On average the barrel life of an AR15 barrel is about 20000 rounds. The difference in barrel wear between the two bullets you mentioned are not going to be that noticeable. I recommend selecting the ammo that shoots the best out of your gun and sticking with that.

Is this a soft point

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on June 07, 2022

The Hornady Frontier 5.56x45mm NATO 75 grain uses a Boat Tail Hollow Point bullet. So it is not a soft point bullet like a Remington Core Lokt bullet.

Q
Jeff, guest, from PA, United States, asked on August 25, 2021

Is this cartridge compatible with a Smith and Wesson M&P 15?

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from MI, United States, on September 11, 2021

If you have a 5.56 NATO barrel which I believe all smith and Wesson M&P 15 barrels are then yes. also barrel twist should be 1:7 or 1:8 for best results
