Lightning 22 Caliber (.224 Diameter) Bullets 55 grain Full Metal Jacket with Cannelure Box of 500

I bought these because they were cheap. I found them unbelievably inaccurate.

With a new rifle, I shot some retail rounds and had really good results. Switched to my reloaded rounds with these bullets for the first time. My groupings opened up and there were two keyholes that were widly off as well. Wish I had not bought so many of these boxes. They will probably get religated to backup/last choice use. I did shoot 100 rounds and maybe the barrel got too hot. I'll dial it back and see if I get better results shooting 50. Should not have to do this...

I have loaded 1,000 and they work really well. I will buy these again.

Great bullets been using them for years, accurate, and cost effective. What more could you ask for.

Incredible, accurate bullets, since i first purchased
Lightning bullets from Graf and Son's years ago
I've been a regular customer of Graf and Lightning
Products. Excellent customer service and merchandise.

Bought because of the price, but got burned…. 3-5 rounds per 20 keyhole in the target. The ones that don’t keyhole, still offer horrible accuracy (3-6” @ 50rds). I first thought my barrel was shot out, but after firing these in multiple rifles, different powders, different brass, got the same results.

Quality bullets that seat and shoot well. No complaints here. They are solid performers. Highly recommend.

I gave this 4 stars since I have yet to shoot it.
The bullets are clean and shiny. With their boat tail design the case necks do not have to be expanded - the tail goes right into the case mouth the the following larger body expands the neck as needed. With a sample of 10 bullets, I made the following measurements:
width: all measured .224 immediately below the cannalure.
length: 4 measured .744, 3 - .7445, and 3 - .7455.
weight: 4 weighed 55 grains, 1 - 55.1, 3 - 54.9, 2 - 54.8.
Avg. weight among the 10 bullets: 54.94. This seems very good.
Lastly, the price was "right," lower than I'd seen for any comparable bullet. Thanks Grafs.

Just loaded 400 for plinking, targets, & steel. They are consistent, smooth loading. I have not checked accuracy yet.

After i got the load dialed in. No problem shooting clay's set up at 200 yards. Im a happy camper.

Got these for practice.
They load easily, and are great for ringing steel and punching targets.
Accuracy is very good as well!

Got in a box of these for plinking, better value than the same type from another vendor, great for target practice, loaded easily. Happy with the bullets, will buy more when needed.

Back in 2020 I bought 1500 of these (in 100 rd tins). They were very uniform then and performed well at the range. The fact I bought another 1000 says all I have to say.

Ordered these for some plinking rounds and they performed better than expected. Will buy again

Use these for a number of years in 222 Remington, 223 Remington and 22-250 Remington with 3 different IMR powders , sub MOA in bolt guns and 2.5 to 3 inches in AR platform at 400 yards. Weights and dimensions are not perfect , but perform nothing the less in great fashion , no visible flaws , weight very consistent , well made for the price point , very pleased with them now and in the past.

Great consistency. They have become my go to round for my .223

looks great but have not loaded yet.

Haven’t had a chance to shoot any yet but loaded a few & they seem to work fine. I’m not going for super accuracy to blow through my AR so I’m not concerned about the bad reviews. I was happy to find a good deal.

No problem reloading. Ok for the price.

first time reloading this caliber. works great.

A waste of copper and lead. Three feet and more off target center at 100 yds in two AR’s. Purchased from another supplier. Penetrated my target paster bag on ground. Never saw such gross inaccuracy in 25+ years. Returned unused bullets to supplier. Your service and quality are superior but these bullets are “ the pits”.( if they get that far).

Works really well and consistent..With the flat rate shipping they are cheaper than what is available locally

I shot a thousand of these and they are accurate, however i had a baffle strike that has proven to be rather expensive. I wont be shooting these in a suppressed rifle anymore, but still use them for unsuppressed rifles.

for the price they were pretty consist in weight and length.

Awesome price on components again! Good stuff loads and shoots great keep them coming guys

Bought these on a whim due to the short supply thinking "These will do for the range" and the price was too good to pass up. When received, they looked just as good and well finished as the ones I have used from Hornady (much better looking than the picture on the Graf page). Loaded up several and they shot groups as well as any from my AR.
Next time they are available, I will get a bunch more.

Once again Graf and Sons has offered a fine economical bullet that meets the shooters expectations. This bullet has been economical to buy, easy to load, and accurate. Thank you Graf and Sons again!

The bullets look nice and are similar in all respects to the brand name bullets that I normally use. Using the same loading as the Hornady 55g psp boat tail I normally use, the groups average 1.31". No complaints and I would buy them again.

After loading 1000 rounds I have not had any problems with these. Very good product at a good price.

Bought these hoping they would be ok. I did a complete layout out on a couple dozen. Everything wasn't just in compliance, they all held less than .0003" in total variation with OD's and OAL. All weighed within .01 grains too. They loaded well and shot in tight groups. I would buy these again without any further hesitation. Thank you Lightning Ammo. You present a fine product.

easy to load and shoot great. I've bought them several times
