An economical, high quality target round. Always goes bang and goes where you want it. A go to round for target practice that will not break the bank. Works well in semi-autos with no misfires, FTE or FTF. Good solid round. Based on inquiries on the Web, this round is reportedly better for indoor range than the AE and that the Champion is not at the same quality/performance as AE even though they are priced similarly. Best to do your own research's and make the choice that best fits your needs.
