Frontier 5.56 68grn "match" (review's)

[renagadeinjun]

Has anybody run this stuff? they claim 3240fps / 1282 ft lbs, BTHP and "Match Grade to boot"
'No mention of test barrel length'
upper limits on pressure its hard for me to believe Match Grade .
Let's hear it ODT ................ @15.o6 - 20

Never shot any Frontier ammo but in for any local results!

68 running at 3240 is probably out of a 24” barrel. Going to be hard to get that velocity out of a 16 inch or 18 inch gun.

Yeah, the norm is 20" but 3240 is smoking for 68grn and might be 24"

As hornadys budget level of ammo...I have doubts. Anything is match grade if you stick a match bullet on it. Nevermind the other parts that make for quality match ammo

Bull

IIRC I think the listed BC for that bullet is wrong too, its listed as the same as their either 73g or 75g factory loaded bullet, which I doubt. Try it and let us know what you think though.

Havent shot their 68 grain, but their 75 grain is pretty awesome. Its the go to stuff if you want ammo to stretch out the rifle and see whats its capable of without getting too invested. I dont pay attention to the claims on the box. I use my calculator and then walk the rounds out to 500 yards. If you have a chrono, its easier to get true data to get on target quicker.

Yeah, I dont believe that for a second. Spot on.
