I guess I posted that badly. What I should have asked is it as good as Federal M855 62 gr green tip?
What size groups are you getting with Federal? I still have a lot of it on stripper clips.
I've shot both Federal xm855 and steel cased Wolf out to 500 yards and the Wolf wins in accuracy. I don't recall any groups smaller than 2 MOA using the Federal. This out of a 14.5" AR so maybe not as accurate as your hunting gun.
Steel core isn't meant to be accurate. It's made to fly about 600 yards and still go through an enemy's helmet.
I have never had any problems, for about 30 years.
