I guess for me the question is, "do they do what it says on the tin?" (Do the velocities match what's on the box?)

Kinda interesting the IMI 175gr was that low.

Very glad to see the AAC posting respectable performance.  Good bang for the buck !

I was surprised the IMI was that slow as well.  the 175 Still grouped well, bit over an inch, the imi 150s were ugly, maybe a 3 inch group.
