Note from Wade:
While many argue against hunting with match-grade projectiles, we absolutely do — especially for hogs and other smaller game. When shot placement is solid and velocity is appropriate, the 69gr SMK performs extremely well. We've put this ammo through a fair amount of testing and have enjoyed the results.
As far as factory .223 options go, this might be our favorite so far when it comes to affordable, consistent performance. Expect true velocity data from our own rifles soon, across various barrel lengths.
DISCLAIMER:
This ammunition is produced by ADI, not Ally Munitions. While we pull random samples from each batch for quality control, we cannot guarantee performance across all platforms. If you run into issues, please contact us and the manufacturer directly. And as always: inspect your ammo before use and watch for pressure signs during firing.
