After doing a bit of research, there doesn’t seem to be much out there on this ammo. I’ve shot a bit. It seemed to have quite a bit of pop to it. How does it shoot for everyone else? What’s your opinion on it as a general purpose round to stack?

Good bullet but stay away from Frontier ammo for the time being

Never used it. But I've seen what I consider more than enough valid info on the Frontier stuff to stay clear.

My firearms really like the 62 gr spire point. I've shot a lot of the Frontier brand, except the 55 gr variety, without any problems whatsoever and am comfortable with it.

I’ve heard the whole Frontier line offers explosive performance

Until Hornady can convince me they’ve worked out any issues, I’ll continue to go with options from other mfgs.

Some have more "pop" than others.

In all fairness, “some” amounts to a very small number of rounds. Don’t want to blow things out of proportion.

Agreed.  But when a new brand comes to market, and there are many reports of kbooms in a relatively short time frame, that doesn't bode well.  I hope they sort it out.

I have shot some of the 5.56 55gr bthp and I have 1000 of the 223 55gr bthp. It was super cheap from midway it was under 32 cents a round $159.99 for 500 with free shipping. I’m going to shoot some with caution. This was supposed to be my stack deep general purpose round but honestly I think lake city is to blame since they load the ammo. Hornady just sends them the bullet and tells them specs. I’m more likely to believe it’s lake city not really caring about quality control since their name isn’t in the box.
