Greg, I don't have any personal experience w/ the Beman's you mention, but we've done quite a bit of testing w/ the FMJ's at the shop. They are....well.....I don't like them myself. They weren't as durable as the Axis, and we didn't get the penetration either. They were very accurate though.

I know A/C/C weren't one of your choices, but I would choose them over the FMJ any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
