Details
According to its manufacturer, this cartridge’s 140 grain BTHP projectile delivers a 2,690 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24" barrel and retains a 1,972 fps velocity at the 500 yard mark. Given that, Hornady calculates the round’s G1 ballistic coefficient at .580. According to our calculations we expect the bullet to rise by about 5.79 inches when zeroed in at 300 yards. Its velocity should stay supersonic until around the 1,342 yard mark, and its energy should stay in four digit territory until 640 yards.
These 200 rounds come packed in a rugged and reusable field box. Its tackle box-like handle makes it incredibly convenient for lugging around ammo, and its latch seals the box tightly to keep water from harming its valuable contents.

Detailed Analysis:
What Shooters Praise (The Pros)
Many reviewers experienced flawless function with hundreds of rounds, but a notable portion reported high rates of duds (10-15% of batches in some cases), indicating inconsistent reliability. Most positive reports mention zero malfunctions, but negative accounts are consistent and impactful.
Widely regarded as extremely accurate, with several users achieving sub-MOA groups out to 600+ yards through different rifles. Consistency is praised for both new shooters and experienced marksmen, with performance matching or even exceeding expectations for practice and even informal competition.
Frequently highlighted as a top-value option—customers note the price is much lower than brand-name competitors, especially given the reloadable brass. Ideal for high-volume shooters and those who want to build up brass stock for reloading.
What to Know (The Nuances)
- Cleanliness: Cleanliness is not explicitly discussed; indirect feedback suggests it’s comparable to other bulk ammo, with no notable complaints or praise.
- Casing Material: Brass-cased; repeatedly mentioned as a positive for reloaders seeking reusable cases.
- Box/Packaging: Packaging quality is described as basic or flimsy by a few reviewers but does not affect the ammunition’s functionality.
- Suitability: Most buyers see it as practice or range ammo; those requiring match-level consistency for competition suggest stepping up to higher-tier ammunition.
- Velocity/Energy: Detailed ballistic specs (BC/MV) are requested, but no consensus or data appears in reviews.
Conclusion
This ammunition stands out for shooters seeking highly accurate, affordable practice ammo—particularly those who value reloadable brass for future handloading. While the low price and repeatable long-range precision are major strengths, some buyers should be aware of a risk for high dud rates in certain lots, making it less suited for applications where absolute reliability is essential. Best for dedicated practice, informal competition, and economical long-range shooting, as long as users monitor batch quality.
