77gr OTM Bone Frog Range Line
lensiky@reddit (OP)
For Reference I bought their 55gr range line 1k bulk and it was Igman 5.56 rounds. Ammo has to be good enough that they risk their reputation selling it, however they do in house testing on said ammo
Econolife-350@reddit
What reputation? Fuck Bone "federal HST is way too dangerous for civilians to own despite every other company selling it, we do give a hefty discount to law enforcement though because only they can be trusted with this device of mass destruction" frog.
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
Not calling you a liar because I don’t know the context of this post, but you can add federal hst to cart and checkout as a civilian without any issues…
Econolife-350@reddit
For many years they ew the only seller that would restrict the sale of HST to only law enforcement. Cool they turned it around after a long time, still think they're bootlicking dumbasses.
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
I appreciate the info. I’ve only known about them for about 2 years or so, but I’ll keep this info in mind.
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
How much was that? If it was sold at a discount from a regular Igman case then it’s not a bad deal.
Otherwise I don’t want to pay a premium just for the blind box aspect of this lol.
lensiky@reddit (OP)
I have the membership but it was 43.5 cpr
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
Ehh how long ago, post-Iran markups? That same Igman is 49 cpr right now, but was 40.1 prior
lensiky@reddit (OP)
2 weeks ago
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
That’s not a bad deal then! Since you’re a member are you seeing special pricing for the 77gr or is it also 375 for a 500 pack?
lensiky@reddit (OP)
It is also 375 for 500 but it is legitimately the only product on the site that isn’t discounted for members. But I would just assume it’s due to being brand new product release yesterday or today or an accidental oversight
wlogan0402@reddit
What is OTM and why is 74CPR a good deal?
BlizzardOwO@reddit
Idk but description says this is range intended plinking anmo, idk why someone would pay 77cpr when 55gr at 40-50cpr exists for plinking lol
xangkory@reddit
55 gr works well when you are plinking a within a few hundred yards. 77 gr is for when you are plinking at 500+
BlizzardOwO@reddit
Does it really do that much of a difference? I don’t really have a range nearby that lets me shoot 100+ let alone 500+ I guess 55gr suits my situation (i live in a dense city)
Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit
depends on your barrel how much of a difference but yes, it makes a big difference
BlizzardOwO@reddit
Assuming standard 16” out of a 1:7 twist rate? I only own 1 AR that has a 1:8
wlogan0402@reddit
To be frank, Im sure any 223/556 can be hunting/defense ammo out of a 20" barrel
Wunktacular@reddit
Not even close. 4" of barrel length doesn't magically cause ball to expand like a hollow tip.
wlogan0402@reddit
I don't think 3000FPS will discriminate
Wunktacular@reddit
3000fps overpenetrates. Do you know anything about hunting?
I guess if it's that great you should be phoning the US military immediately. They need to sell all the MK18s and M4s and go back to the M16. Imagine all the money they'll save shooting 55gr over M855a1.
All those "professionals" are morons, we need to put the real experts like you in charge.
u_wut_m8e@reddit
Nah dude you launch anything out of a 20” and it will tumble violently within 200 yards. Expansion doesn’t matter when the rounds primary wounding characteristic is yawing/tumbling.
ecodick@reddit
+frag
Brutally-Honest-@reddit
Ball ammo is horrible for hunting. It's not even legal to use it for hunting in most instances.
hitemlow@reddit
Depends on the game. It's usually unlawful to take deer with because DNR has a .30cal minimum for whitetail. For smaller game like coyotes and varmints, it'll do fine with decent shot placement.
lensiky@reddit (OP)
Open Tip Match and unless it’s Frontier(and fuck that) I can’t find 77gr under 95cpr
hitemlow@reddit
But this could also be Frontier since they state it's made by someone else.
lensiky@reddit (OP)
Yes if it passes there specs for velo, UNIFORM PRESSURE, and feeding amongst others I’d assume. why would a company risk their reputation on selling ammo that has been known to blow chambers up?
hitemlow@reddit
Igman doesn't make 77gr tho
On AmmoSeek RN, filtered to 77gr you have, in acending CPR: * Frontier * American Quality * Velocity Ammunition * Mead
\~~ 1 DPR line \~~ * Super Vel * Bone Frog Ammunition * Grizzly * Liberty * Phantom Defense * Black Hills
\~~ 1.5 DPR line \~~ * Badlands
And that's the 100 cheapest listings with no filters other than 77gr.
lensiky@reddit (OP)
I will report back on what it actually is when it comes in!
Spayed_and_Neutered2@reddit
Just curious, what are your problems with Frontier? Ive had some good groups with it
HomersDonut1440@reddit
Frontier tends to be hot as hell and not consistent. I’m not a fan of it.
hitemlow@reddit
Well and the part where it blows guns up
HomersDonut1440@reddit
Yeah, sometimes the “hot as hell” gets just a little too hot
accounts_baleeted@reddit
Lil' spendy for mystery meat
thegoodsherpa@reddit
Far from mystery meat. Solid ammo
accounts_baleeted@reddit
Who loaded it?
hitemlow@reddit
And it's 77gr, so not a lot of eastern European imports of that.
MidSpeedHighDrag@reddit
Honestly, my recent purchases of Vairog 77gr have been more consistent than AAC or Hornady.
With IMI no longer something I am willing to purchase, it's been my best option.
Rooobviously@reddit
This is kind of a hard sell. If it is frontier, I could buy a k from Sgammo for 67 CPR. I might grab some to compare to the fr262 I have.
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
Please report back!
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
For anyone else confused: this isn’t the well-reviewed Bone Frog in-house load. This is their Range Line offering which is white labeled mystery meat ammo from different manufacturers.
T0adman78@reddit
Didn’t I buy the ‘good stuff’ like 6 months ago for this price? We’re entering dark times.
hitemlow@reddit
This is 77gr, which has way fewer companies pushing this out. Since they want to claim it's a "known manufacturer", that pretty much leaves Frontier since it's made by Hornady. All the other 77gr on the market are way smaller operations.
Left_Connection_8137@reddit
There’s plenty of 5.56 77gr OTM made by bigger companies. This could easily be Magtech, S&B, IMI, AAC etc.
Interestingly enough when you search for those parameters plus the listed 2750 fps the 3 things that pop up are Bone Frog, Sig Sauer Marksman, and Black Hills.
This isn't Frontier, since that is listed at 2820 fps.
AdvancedLuddite@reddit
Is Magtech making a new version of their 556C load with SMKs?
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit

No, there are discount codes often that are better deals than the membership

If you’re a veteran you can get the membership for free.
lensiky@reddit (OP)
I’ve bought 3k rounds and saved $55 so $25
Past-Customer5572@reddit
Damn I literally just bought their other 77gr yesterday
MoneyisntR3al@reddit
The TMK's have more consistent expansion in tissue. I wouldn't be upset about it. Keep the 77gr TMK for SHTF and cop some 75/77gr OTM for training.
hitemlow@reddit
Oh hell yeah, mystery meat MK262! With this pricing and weight, I feel like it'll be Frontier.
thegoodsherpa@reddit
Bonefrog is solid ammo
nopenope12345678910@reddit
Yeah their in house ammo, this white labeled stuff, no clue
accounts_baleeted@reddit
I would assume there is a reason for the white labeling....
Like safe enough to sell, but not consistant or accurate enough to be considered match ammo.
GordianBalloonKnot@reddit
I can't shoot for about 8 weeks. Would I be fine to pass this deal up and wait for a similar one in that time?
Really I'm looking for a solid deal on .223 because that's what the indoor ranges allow and the outdoor ranges are all member only around my city, but I would take a solid deal on 5.56 as well
accounts_baleeted@reddit
Unless you're doing something that requires the most precision you can squeeze from a 556, you don't need this over cheap 55gr fmj.
hitemlow@reddit
This is 77gr MK262, which is sold at a major premium over the standard 55gr M193 or 62gr M855 you'd be buying for range ammo. It's also mystery meat (most likely Frontier) because they won't disclose the manufacturer, and there's not exactly a lot of companies using 77gr projectiles.
f0rcedinducti0n@reddit
SMK or non SMK ? Velocity?
Should I buy this and test it to add it to my 77 grain 5.56 chart?
Rooobviously@reddit
SMK is basically vaporware at the moment. Everyone is using clones (Hornady aeromatch, federal center strike)
accounts_baleeted@reddit
What do you mean? Matchking bullets are not hard to find at all.
If they're on the commercial market, surely large ammo manufacturers can source them too.
MrFeetZ@reddit
Does anyone know when SMM will come back to market? Anyone know why it scarce??? Seems availability comes in cycles.
gotohpa@reddit
I’d be interested in seeing this chart
Tiberius-Gracchuss@reddit
Not to high jack this post anyone have a line on 7.62x51 in bulk I don’t care if I have to delink it
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
Yall getting charged tax?
prmoore11@reddit
I’ve heard this has terrible SDs
Shock-Broad@reddit
Nope
