    That's pretty good I guess I'm thinking of ordering a 100rnd value pack of the AE 55gr fmj from gun city.. Hopefully the 55gr is as accurate as the 50gr

    Buying 100 without testing any in your gun is a bit of a gamble. And FMJ wouldn't be my choice for hunting either unless you like punching small holes straight through things.

    Reckon I should get a 20 pack to try first? Makes sense and I think fmj would be fine for rabbits? I definitly wouldn't use fmj on anything bigger than a rabbit

    I have a Savage.. Should shoot similar? Would the Katipo ammo beat the Hornady training ammo for value and performance?

    You can only try it in your rifle and see. Every rifle is different but it goes well in mine.
