Just looking at getting some bulk projectiles to feed my Bushmaster.
Will these go OK in a 1-9 barrel? I'm after 55gr to match my recticle but can't seem to find any for a reasonable price. I see they are steel cored so a bit worried they'll punch through everything.
Only going to be used for gong bashing and a few peacocks and turkeys.
Any other decent bulk deals out there?
Hornady z max just an idea? They are 50gr and $139 for 500 at outdoorsupplys
Yeah that's what I use for SR. In a 1-9 too (16")
There's a guy on tardme selling them in weight sorted batches of .1gr variance, very good dude to deal with (hand delivers sometimes)
Oh and they seem to work fine with my reticle to 300m
probably the cheapest bulk 223 bullet out there
Garbage but ok for blasting.
I found the ADI average at best. I still have a few thousand so my plan is to sort them by weight and see if that helps
The 55gn fmj hornady works well for me and not that much more than the ADI when I last bought it(a couple of years back to be fair) and full lead core so ok for steel targets etc unlike the ADI
55gr Hornady soft points in bulk are better value in my opinion. But I have had trouble getting anything much better than government accuracy in my AR's with them. And your ACR has a fairly average AR barrel.
rasa do 55gr projectiles at 14.5 cents each
magnum imports do adi fmjs at 19cents each,
Both these are not optimised/fully developed yet but fairly close.
Actually Wayne is doing them for 17.5 cents each if you buy them by the 1000.
I use them for SR, as my AR likes heavier projectiles and the Hornady 55gn FMJs and SPs didn't group any better but cost a little bit more.
Same here, Any ideas what would be a good barrel makers/sellers in NZ? ideally I'd like to get to 1/4moa with a 24 or 26 inch barrel, is that possible with an AR?Quote:

A longer tube may drop your ES and tighten up the groups even more-and more load development than the one primer and powder option could as well. Loading to alloy mag length rather than Magpul could also help.
It's doable if you really want to try
Get them from Wayne via Tardeme, still at $175 plus postage.

Its a single loader platform to shoot at Trentham so mag length doesnt matter. 24 or 26inch barrel is more to pick up as much velocity as practical. Primers are Fed205mar at the moment with ADI brass and BM2. I'll probably move to lapua brass though, but I need to get a barrel first and assemble a dedicated upper.Quote:

Everything and everyone I have seen shot with these went down hard!
I have a heap of them and use for close range 3 gun. Shot plenty of deer n stuff out of the machine with them as well. They go alright. $175 for 1000 is not too bad a deal I reckon.
I have them for $170 per thousand free delivery if you buy 1000.
Slight thread swerve but anyone got any BM2 or AR2206H load data for these ? Picked some up but haven't tried anything yet.Quote:

Only use them for close range 3 gun but they shoot under an inch at 100.
They cycle the rifle fine when i balanced it for a faster load as well.
