American Eagle & Federal Ammunition


Recommended Posts

I am not an expert John but I guess it depends entirely on what they mean by "ballistically" the same. To an ammo manufacturer that probably means they produce muzzle velocities and pressures which are about the same.

 

Even a slight difference in the seating depth of the bullet could make all the difference in your rifle.

AE's seem to be changing...

 

I only ever use the 50grn hollow points 'cos they work in my gun.

The latest batch of 100 I bought (the ones in the red/black box as always) now have green goo round the primer pocket and have different cases :unsure:

They still shoot the same, almost boringly "why bother reloading" accuracy at 7-8 quid a box.

 

I have never seen the other sort, but the only time I bought 55grn's fmj's they were in a smaller box, still red/black though.
