I believe FMC is a slightly different name for something very close to FMJ.

I've seen some FMJ (usually handgun stuff) that has an exposedlead base, while most things I have seen named FMC are completely encapsulated in a metal jacket. Those .223s have me stumped as that looks like an exposed lead base to me. (Bad lighting in the pic, maybe wrong)

Those 9mms look like the Winchester 115gr JHPs at Wally World, not at all like an FMJ/FMC design. The disclaimer below the pic on their site says it's a stock photo. If you'll look at their site again, it shows that same exact pic for 4-5 other types of 9mm Winchester ammo.

I'd say those .223s are basically FMJ, and if I were to buy them, I would load them as such. (Of course, after checking bullet weights to confirm they are 55gr bullets!)

Actually, those 223 bullets look like seconds. One on the left looks close to being ok but look at the one on the right laying down. It has too much jacket material and it is over formed. You may have to double click on the picture to make it larger. The one on the far right has what looks like marks on the nose. I bought 4k bullets last year from River Valley Ordinance, the lady told me they were new grade 1 bullets and they all looked about like that. I had to throw a bunch a way and resize all of them 224 thru a Lee sizer and some were pulls and out of round. They shoot like ;) but I still plink with them. Just a warning about RVO. I tried to contact them after I got my order, phone-email, could never get a response. Just a warning, order from reputable companies.

I dont intend to buy them.. I did a search earlier for .223 brass.. since.. ya know.. you cant find it... and i saw those. Sierra and Hornday AMAX is about all that goes through my AR.
