I'm sure Hornady is more accurate but real M193 is made to frag better/easier for killing "stuff".

The Hornady will be more accurate. The ogive of the Hornadys are more consistent, making them easier to seat to a consistent depth and OAL. The LCs aren't bad, but avoid the bulk Winchester 55 FMJs.
The most accurate 55 FMJ that I've found is the Sierra, but they are way to pricey for bulk loading plinking ammo. |

I would never bet that pulled bullets came from Lake City. Some of that surplus stuff isn't worth the primer and powder, not to mention the work to load it.

Cant offer any advice on the lake city yet but here is the results from the Hornady 55gr FMJBT bulk pack that I recently loaded. A buddy of mine just dropped off some lake city pulls and brass so I sould have some results from that some time later this week.
10 shot group, 26gr of W748, 2.220 COL shot our of my superior barrels hoplite build at 100 yards. Group is about 1 3/8 inch as best as I can measure it. Not too bad for cheap plinking ammo.

The Hornady will be more accurate.
You can find less expensive bullets, but the trade off is accuracy. |
