"There’s material that looks like salt inside all the hollow points. Was shocked at how inaccurate it was. Sold it all. Won’t be buying it again in a bulk bag, only when in 20 round boxes. Lake city normally is all good too. XM80 was better. Save your money. Especially now."
I cant say enough
"I can't say enough great things about these 175gr match rounds. My R700 format bolt gun sends these downrange into 1/4 MOA groupings fairly regularly."

"I haven't had the chance to try these at 1,000 yards, but I did use them at 300 yards for the M1A Match at the 2019 CMP Nationals and at 600 yards at an EIC match at Fort Hill Rifle & Pistol Club. No issues with the rounds that I fired. Fed throught my rifle flawlessly and grouped really well (iron sights only)."
