These are plated bullets that cost half as much as an FMJ. Keeping that in mind, they perform better than the other plated bullets I've tried (including the other option from Xtreme Bullets and Berry's Bullets). I cut one in half and found that the outer copper layer is significantly thicker than Berry's or the other Xtreme offering, which is probably why they stand up to velocity a bit better.
In my SKS these perform best at around 2000 FPS, giving me about 2 moa groups at 100 yards. They can be pushed to a full power 2400 FPS, but accuracy will suffer quite a bit (5-6 moa at 100). Still, this is a lot better than the other plated bullets. When you push those to 2400 FPS, they basically don't group at all (20+ moa at 100).
Are these a replacement for jacketed bullets? Nope. But for a cheap, accurate plinking bullet, it would be hard to find a better option than these.

I hope these are not the same type of bullet I purchased a while back. If so, stay away from them. They are too short to seat in the casing properly. They are useless. They are a waste of good money. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and buy a box. You will regret it.
