Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - .223 FOR ENTRY TACTICAL

Question/Request for advice

Purchased Entry Tactical and want to shoot ammunition similar to what I shoot with issued weapon (I'm active duty Army). Kitted out weapon with EOTECH w/ ARMS40 BUIS.

Want to shoot quality, non-reload cartridges that are not expensive. Looking at ranges out to 250m, with priority of 15-100m. After internet search, found FIOCCHI .223 REM 55GR FMJ at good prices.

Questions -
- Does this cartridge closely mirror issued M193: 55gr FMJBT Ball, plain tip?
- Is this a good manufacturer and cartridge?

Thanks

I don't have any experience with it personally, so I really can't comment.
I can say that if it is .223 Remington versus 5.56mm NATO load, it probably isn't exactly like what you're used to at "work".
You might try over in the amunition forum.

Thanks.

As a side note. Fired rounds from the weapon to zero BUIS and find it to be excellent ... although disassembly/assembly is more challenging than I am used to. Its an extremely tight weapon which is a great thing.

Please pass on to your folks that you produce a high quality weapon. I only wish I could carry my RRA when I deploy again next year.
