I picked up a couple of boxes yesterday, of the 69gr but, also could have bought 77gr version. Has anyone shot this stuff? It has sealed neck and primers with all the proper crimps and cannelure.

Cannelure.  Is this a self defense load or a match round?  Or both?

I bought a box of the 77grain for 19.99 at  alocal shop. It is by far the most accurate round I have used (yet) in my 20" RRA Var.

Ammoman has a 200rd. case of 77gr. around $150 (may be more or less).

$11.99 each 20 rd box  of 69 or 77 gr.

These loads have crimps and cannelures? I thought this was a 77gr match load. Can you give a product code please?

I just checked Federal's website. This is TRU ammo. I wasn't aware of this line. Looks good. Is this available to civilians? If so, where from. Thanks.

Tactical Rifle Urban  T223M and T223M3. I also looked at some 77 gr match rounds with out crimps and cannelure. The website has a misprint on the weight on 69 gr as a 62 gr.

Thanks Dutch, for the numbers. Is this an LEO-only load generally?

I just checked out the velocity and energy for this vs their standard and Hornady TAP (all are BT HP):

#                 Grain     Velocity  Energy
Federal
T223M        62(69)   3000      1380
T223M3      77          2750      1295
GM223M     69          3000      1379
GM223M3   77          2750      1293
Hornady TAP
80268          75         2790      1296

Which is the best for home defense?
It seems that the T223M may be the way to go as it has the most energy.
