Federal 223 100rd value pack

   Bought 3 boxes of Federal 223 55gr fmj 100rd value pack ( burgundy red ).  I've only seen them at Walmart.  Well , anyways,  they are NOT accurate.  They go bang every time and cycle in my AR and bolt Howa and thats were it ends. Before I got them I read the reviews and everyone bragged about how accurate they were , some even calling them  " the poor man's gold match ". Well these ain't no Federal Gold Match .As a matter of fact I would bet money that Tula 223's have better accuracy.  I have many different brands of 223/5.56 ammo that I compared yesterday.  Usually our Rural King carries Geco, Aquila,  winchester nato, federal American eagle,  remington umc and the hunting 223 which is expensive.  I switched back and forth between the Geco 55 grain , American eagle 55 grain, Federal 55 grain fmj " value pack" . My test rifle was my Howa 223 1/9" twist with nikon 4x16 monarch  . At 100yds the Geco was about 1.5" ,  the black american Eagles were about 2" and the " federal value pack " was about 5"+. These were all 10 shot groups . I really like the Geco 223 and their 5.56 . Wish they made a 10mm round . Their stuff is always hot.

I've seen that ammo at Walmart (nowhere else) but never bought it.

Rural King is a great store - we got out first one about a year ago. Great place for ammo, Stihl chainsaws and $8 RK jeans.

We love our rural king .  They have their own gun  sales website . They are starting to carry some upper end pistols like Sig sauer . What's funny is High point is their biggest seller at our local store.

I drove by their headquarters twice last week.  Funny that such a gun friendly company is headquartered in such an anti-gun state.
