    FMJ accuracy

    I bought a couple of thousand Hornady 55 grain .224 bullets to feed the various AR15s in the house. What kind of accuracy potential do these bullets have? Not asking how my un-named rifle will shoot. Just curious if anyone has tried to find out just how well FMJ type bullets shoot.
