A good value considering the Speer Gold Dot hollow points are $2.00 per round currently. $0.78 per round seems quite a bargain imho.

IMI is good stuff too, I've had their 5.56 M855 before.

I like the IMI OTM 77gr 5.56 a lot.

This is a good price on defensive ammo, even in the pre-Covid era. I watched some of the ballistics gel tests of this particular 9mm round, and I wasn't very impressed.

I had to do something as I was down to the last of my Speer Gold Dots but $100 per box of 50 rnds is a hard pill to swallow at the moment. In the winter I carry FMJ rounds in my carry guns for much better penetration through heavy winter clothing if an altercation occurs and against larger predatory game in an emergency. But in the warmer months I transition back to hollow points and to reduce the chance of ricochets.

Yup. The price really can't be beat these days, and I would have zero concerns about if functioning consistently.
