    62gr MFS/Barnul 223?

    I saw These Rounds on the website, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried them?

    The reason I ask is I've shot a lot of the zinc cased 55gr MFS and the 115gr 9mm and it has always done well by me. I'm concerned about the whole Barnul thing though, since I just bought a 1000 round case of 9MM 115gr in the MFS box with a Barnul sticker on it from my local gun shop. The boxes inside are all Barnul boxes, they have what looks like a lacquered case instead of zinc coated, and they have what I think is a hard as *&%$ military primer, since both my Sig 226R and S&W M&P9 can have a hard time lighting off the primers. So my question is, are these 62gr rounds like the zinc MFS, or more like what i described for the Barnul 9mm rounds??

    Is this the soft point of fmj? I have some of the mfs 62grn sp and its good ammo. I have had no failures shooting them through a savage axis and they're very accurate.

    It's FMJ. I e-mailed Frontier and they clarified that the Barnul stuff is lacquered cases as well. Not quite so excited about that.

    I just bought some and will be testing it out...
    It is most likely is the FMJBT, not the SP
