I'm wondering if anyone has compared these two bullets.

I'm sold on the Hornady and I have a great load for them.

My local supplier was out of them and he had the Federal, so I bought 500.

Are the Federals worth buying???

I have always found Hornaday very consistent in OAL and my go to choice... Winchester comes in second and Remington third.

As always YMMV.

I've never even SEEN Federal components.

This.

I would love to find a source for Federal 223 jacketed frangible bullets.

Not jacketed like Federal. Have heard those often come apart in the barrel. Also heard they increase throat wear.

So I'm not sure what to think about the Federal 55g FMJBT, I'll just have to try them...I put in a order for 500  Hornadys from Midway and they are on back order.

Their website had 11-20-08 as the expected delivery date so who knows when...

Yes I am Gunstop.com

For the most part, I shop there exclusively. John has helped me with all of my reloading needs and has been a great wealth of knowledge.

He has most everything and keeps his equipment and component supply well stocked. Give him a call 1-800-645-7644

His prices are good and I give him all the business I can, I love to have this source so close to home.

This has turned into a wonderful hobby and has made me shoot more often.

I stop by there weekly even if just to look and visit.
