Questions & Answers
Will they take down a big white tail deer with decent shot placement?

Yet it will, they are great for deer. Shoot the deer right behind the shoulder in the heart and lung area. 3 people in my family shoot .223 and 5.56 with a variety of ammo and we kill lots of deer every year with them.

Are these armor piercing Black Tips?

No, this round is not the M855A1, which is really hard to get and expensive. This round is a hollow point, designed to inflict a larger wound channel when hunting, while also being loaded to 5.56 NATO specifications (higher pressures than .223 REM). If you’re looking for a plinking round with decent penetration, I recommend M855 Green Tip. It has a steel core, weighing 62 grains, and is much more cost effective. You should match your ammo to your rifles twist rate as well. Cheaper 55gr (M193) isn’t very accurate if you have a 1:7 twist ratio, whereas a 1:9 twist uses 55 grain ammo well. 62 grain ammo works well in 1:7 through 1:9, with 1:8 being the best twist rate for allowing use of all weights of 5.56 ammo (55gr-77gr). I know I went a little overly in-depth but it is something everyone needs to know when choosing their ammo and it’s purpose.

Helpful Positive Review Great ammo for whitetails by Perry, Verified Owner, December 16, 2022
I am extremely happy with the accuracy of this ammo. I have a 1:8 twist barrel on my AR15 put 3 shots in 1” circle at 100 yards. I purchased for Wisconsin deer season and they definitely do the trick. With a well placed shoulder shot they dropped a m...

Helpful Positive Review Quality ammo by TH, January 23, 2023
I mainly use this and the 70 grain tsx for hog hunting. I don’t have to have perfect head shots with these rounds. They cycle well and produce good wound cavities for a 556. If you plan to hunt, then just rezero your optic for whatever grain you hav...
