Hey there,
So not a "I like this" or "never had an issue" thread. Almost everything factory works and is accurate. Totally agree, no dispute.
I mean to say, technically speaking from specs or as a reloader, which factory FMJ has the best specs? For example, I didn't know this, but have read that Blazer and PMC have thinner brass cases. I've read Federal tends to have the most consistent velocity. Since Blazer is Speer, I'm wondering if my love for Lawman might not be proven in specs vs personal experiences so far. I've read Ruag is well respected for consistency, but no one mentions it. I've read Remington FMJ is some of the least consistent of all factory loads.
Example, years ago Blazer wasn't recommended by Magnaport because the copper is so thin on the bullet the port could shave off the copper: http://www.coldboretact.com/blazer-brass-ammo-prohibited.html
So given all is great and works, is one worth mentioning as just "better" per specs than others?
