    Per the Bone Frog website: 5.56 62GR Federal Tactical Bonded (XM556SBCT3), Federal 62 grain Bonded Softpoint FBI Equivalent Load; per the manufacturer, this is the same round as XM556FBIT3, it was given a different SKU # for non-FBI contracts. This ammo is one of the most advanced designs for personal protection or law enforcement.

    Now not saying for sure that it isn't factory seconds, but most reputable places will denote factory seconds in their ads and pics. The pics did not show the factory "Use for training only" warning sticker (I've bought from them before and it didn't have that sticker).

    I spent all day looking for the exact notes my buddy experienced. So what might be better termed was not to contract spec and hence sent to retail. Molon, of all people, posted his eval of it TODAY on several sites so if you check around you’ll probably find it. Accuracy was not good compared to its retail line and fed tactical cousin. 1.89” from the gun that he can damn near put rounds through the same hole with.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
