[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Federal LE223T3?

Posted: 3/2/2012 9:50:18 AM EDT

Any good for shooting out of a 20" 1:9? How is the accuracy.

I'm just looking for something more accurate than M193 or M855 and someone had the LE223T3 for trade.

I hate to say it because I want more for me, but all my .223's love the LE223T3. My barrels range from 14.5" to 18" and twist rates of 1:7 to 1:10 and it they all shoot the Federal round well.

Might I add that it would be a crying shame to use this ammunition as plinking ammo. It's a proven barrier blind round that is extremely hard to find now. I found several hundred rounds in '09 and after using it to do some sighting in I put in long term storage. If it ever hits the fan, some spare mags will be loaded with it and I'll be very confident in it.

It should shoot just like any other SP in a 1/9 twist

Lot to Lot will vary

If you want accuracy go for the Match ammo SMK 52,69,77,

Federal Fusion 62gr is cheaper and I have seen good reports from other shooters
With its pointy tip I can see why.

2-3MOA 10-shot groups are the norm with the 62gr TBBC projectile.

Is this load the TBBC?
