    anything wrong with these .223 fmj's?

    I started reloading .223 for my AR and I have been using winchester fmj's. I bought some bulk ammo and these with the copper jackets not bent over the bottom came. Are these good to go? just wondering.

      they look like they are from different companies due to the knurling pattern one is boat tail the other is flat base i think maybe remington MC bullets

        Bulk FMJs usually have exposed bases.

        I use Hornady 55gr FMJ bulk, which has and exposed base.

          Generally speaking, bullets are swaged two ways: lead slug is put into cup and unit is mashed in the die open side up = soft nose, slug put into the cup and mashed open side down = FMJ

              You might have trouble putting them on the case mouth, but I'd load them anyway. You may also get variation in accuracy since one does look heavier than the other. Seems arbitrary, however.
