Title: Hornady Frontier 5.56x45 Any Good?
Post by: Johnnyreloader on January 10 2020 05:39:23 PM MST
LGS has Hornady 55gr Frontier 5.56x45 for $280/1000.
Haven't shot any, anyone have experiences with it?
Would like to hear some first hand reviews before stacking a couple K.

It's loaded by Lake City.  Combined with the fact that hornady makes fine ammo I see no reason not to think this is a fine product.

For comparison, Natchez has free shipping until midnight tonight which would put Lake City XM193 on your doorstep for $289/K.

Problem is, Natchez doesn't ship to Alabama.

I thought Alabama was a free state. Why won't they ship there?

They won't ship to GA/TN/AL as a courtesy to local brick and mortar businesses.  They are located in chattanooga, so they are trying to play nice with local "stores".

OP, buy the hornady.  It will be fine ammo.  It is basically XM193 but with Hornady instead of Federal FMJ's on top.
