Wolf FMJ vs FMJBT in 55 gr

[Shrinkmd]

Help me out on this one. At Sportsman's Guide, they have military classic 55 gr .223 for $165 bucks, and then the regular Wolf FMJBT for $175. Are they using a different 55 gr bullet? And if they are, are the more expensive ones any more accurate/better terminal performance? Or is the marketing dept playing around?

I know its stinky wolf and is only suitable for plinking, but for an extra 10 bucks will it plink any better?


And another silly question. Why on earth is the 62 gr FMJ $155 a case? Isn't more metal usually more expensive? Is this just a SPG marketing boo-boo?

The cheaper one is laquer coated and the more expensive one is polymer coated.

AR noob here...

So I assume then that polymer coated > laquer coated...?

The FMJBT- Full Metal Jacketed Boat Tailed bullets are suppose to be a more accurate shooting bullets and usually more expensive. The polymer coated shells cost more than the lacquer coated ones. AKs & SKSs have no problem with lacquer coated but American made weapons do better with the polymer coated shells.
