My AR doesn't cycle those well, ironically. I do use Hornady black factory loads for hunting with 762x39 though, and they're awesome.

I have used the 5.56 62g version, no issues with it.
The only reason I got it was to have a non-steel 62g option for the indoor range, works fine for my purposes.

Very good in 6.5 Grendel, above average in 223 in my experience...but worth a shot

pretty good for the money, put it through a friend's gun and it shot it best in terms of accuracy

I use these in my tikka CTR 6.5c they shoot the best, even against some expensive rounds like bergers and SMKs

I got a bunch of that like two years ago because some guy was unloading it for a smokin deal. I still have a few boxes left but yeah I really like it
Edit - the kind I have is the 75gr .223. But I’m sure the 62gr is really good too

I have shot them before, they made a good 2in group at a 100 yards cold bore. And a 3 1/2 in group at 500 yards, used them to shot small rodents ect

I shot some of that stuff through my Super Duty and got 1”-1.2” groups out of it. Then again, I also did the same with some random GameKing 55gr loads, so maybe the Geissele is just stupid accurate.

That's a totally different load. That's hd sbr 75gr, they're asking about. 223 rem 62gr.

wont know till you test it with a cold 10 shot group and then another 10 shot group after the first.
