Haven't had one misfire from any of the rounds and I expect it to drop a deer just fine. I'll see when deer season rolls around but I'm happy with it

I am posting this review under the factory new hunting ammo as the re-manufactured ammo loaded with the same 87gr soft point is not currently listed(6/24/16). I am pleased with the appearance and surefire performance of the rounds. Accuracy out of my 18" rifle was averaging 1.45 MOA at 100 yards out of three five shot groups. I was disappointed after choreographing the loads. Across 10 rounds the average was 2750fps. In my estimation an 18"should not be producing approx 300fps less than a 20". Energy at the muzzle at 2750fps is approximately 1495 foot pounds; good for medium game and much more than any 223/5.56. I was expecting only 200fps max decrease from the advertised 3000fps at the muzzle from a 20". Maybe the powder charge has been reduced for whatever reason? With A2200 powder I am achieving 3050fps from an 80gr TTSX with, so I expect 2825 out of the 87gr Hotcore. I have not chrono'ed the factory new rounds yet and will write a separate review for them.

Ammo looks great, I have not shot any of it yet because I am waiting on a piece for my gun build, I love anything from Sharps.

I did have five cartridges out of one box that had pierced primers in my rifle. I had no other issues with any others out of three boxes that I have shot.

I am completely satisfied with the products. Seemed a little slow to ship. The quality of the barrel I purchased for my AR build, in my opinion, is exceptional. Inside of 1 MOA at 100yrds with a mil-spec trigger. I installed a nice 2 stage trigger but haven't had a chance to get it out yet. Should tighten up even more.
