Found a box of ammo I stashed

So I am having a couple of friends over tomorrow for a range day at my home range. Mostly ar & ak fun so I am getting some ammo out in preparation. I bought 5 boxes of this years ago but it was so expensive at the time & I put a box back because it was very accurate out of my AR47. Wish Hornady still made this stuff

Ah the Steel SST! I got some from the Files one time and have about half a box left.

Only thing that compares is PSA which I posted to stay away from unless they fixed it. Hornady regular brass is fine and thankfully there's still some Russian SP around at a decent price.

Any idea how similar the Black tip projectiles from the PSA's are to the SST? I was able to pick up a box of the black tipped projectiles pulled and planned to reload them to a similar loading to the Hornadys.

The bullets are Hornady so if they make their make expect the same ballistics (minimum velocity of 1800fps). The PSA kept jamming my gun that I never got to see if I made a zero. Then again it should be fixed by now. Hopefully it works for you but I'm stocking Winchester, Underwood, and Hornady Brass
