Your work is incredibly valuable. Thanks for all that you do, Molon.

If you were to ever make a book out of all the information you have posted, I’d buy it.

If I ever manage to finish the "book", I'll probably just make it available for free in .pdf format.

You might want to check out the Hornady 62 grain FMJ bullet, which is available as a reloading component.


Hornady Black 223 Remington 62 Grain FMJ







Hornady has produced at least two different versions of their all-lead-core 62 grain FMJ projectile, which I’ll refer to as Gen 1 and Gen 2.  Both versions are standard construction copper-jacketed (gilding metal), lead core bullets. They do not have a steal “penetrator” like M855.

This lot of factory loaded ammunition is topped with the Gen 2 version of the 62 grain FMJ bullet.  The Gen 2 version (pictured on the right below) is longer than the Gen 1 version.  The Gen 2 version has a longer boat-tail than the Gen 1 version and the Gen 2 version has a narrower diameter of exposed lead at the base of the bullet than the Gen 1 version.











I tested the accuracy (technically precision) of the Hornady factory loaded 223 Remington 62 grain FMJ ammunition using a free-floated Colt M4A1 barrel.  This is a 14.5” chrome-lined, NATO chambered barrel with a 1:7” twist.  











A 10-shot group fired off of sand bags at a distance of 100 yards had an extreme spread of 1.32” and a mean radius of 0.35”.






When chronographed from a 20" chrome-lined, NATO chambered Colt barrel with a 1:7" twist,  the 223 Remington 62 grain Hornady Black FMJ load had a muzzle velocity of 2961 FPS with a standard deviation of 24 FPS.

Molon thanks for the update👍🏼

Love the info. That seems like AMAZING accuracy for a 62gr FMJ. How does the Black 62gr compaired to M855 through that same rifle?

Federal 62gr Fusion did the job out of M16A4 clone couple years ago.  DRT 250m within first 20 mins of light.
