These are extraordinary bullets. Kill out of all proportion to their size and are very accurate. Shoot well in all of the 3 .223 rifles I have. Not at all fussy. I churn through them. Great value.

Mine are 3250 fps. Go well on deer. Can pass through at times. The heavier Targex are better deer medicine but these little ones sure are impressive. I use them on wallaby mainly. I would rate them better than the 55 Hornady.
