  • Matthew said:

    The Ammo is great, but the one hitch in my "Giddy-up" is: The ammo on the website reads "FMJ-BT", but what showed up at my door was regular FMJ. I'll still shoot it, but I'll be wary, before I order from here.

    Zero issue with this rounds performance, even with my limited rifle experience I was able to get 1 MOA accuracy out of my AR15 style rifle.
