thoughts on .224 fmj bt's

[slushee]

I have sourced some winchester made .224 fmj bt's, does anyone know how good the quality/accuracy stands up against those made by sierra or honady?

I'd hate to buy the 1000 the guy has left if they are a substandard bullet comparitably.

I know the best way is just to try them in my rifle, but it wont get here for another week or so

I expect that Winchester FMJs would be as good as those made by anyone else. You are referring to standard military style bullets?
Sierra and Hornady match bullets are a different situation.

From my experince dealing with 100,000 winchester .224 they are not the best quality FMJ out there... I stop carrying them because of poor quality control.

The Hornady FMJ BT are pretty near match quality

I have seen several internet reviews stating that Winchester 55gr FMJBT were quite inconsistently made and that Hornady is the cream of the crop.

perfect .. i'll switch out to hornady as soon as this first 100 has been shot!
