Comments about Hornady STEEL MATCH Ammo, .223 Rem, 55 Gr., 50 Count:

I was skeptical about this ammunition at first but decided I would give it a shot. I was shooting this out of my AR with a 14.5'' barrel (with permanent attached muzzle device) with a 1/7 twist. The ammo was not the 55gr but the 52gr BTHP, which isn't normally recommended in a 1/7 twist but decided to shoot anyways. At 100 yards I was shooting consistantly sub MOA. I couldn't believe it. Went out July 15th, the coyote opener here in michigan and took a healthy male with this ammo. This ammo is flawless and recommend this to anybody. It really saves some cash in comparison to other similar loads and get the same performance. If you aren't looking to save the brass for reloading this is great ammunition! Hornady did it again!

Comments about Hornady STEEL MATCH Ammo, .223 Rem, 55 Gr., 50 Count:

I was on the fence with this ammo it got bad reviews most of which were complaining about the price, I bought some anyway. I am shooting it out of my ar-15 the I built as cheaply as possible including the bull barrel on it the gun cost less then $700 dollars. This ammo is shooting groups measured center to center with a digital caliper of 0.344 inches at 100 yards, and my brother is shooting 0.484 at a 100 yards using the same gun. Will be trying it out on coyotes tomorrow.
