Thread: Best Price on .223

ahh that's interesting with the bi-metal part. lol I hate searching for cases in the grass! So if I can get a steel case with copper bullet at a good price then that is the go. Cheers

Ammo

I'm ordering some of this next week to see how it shoots, will be buying 1-2 thousand if it groups ok from my AR.

Target shooting for ASRA. That belmont ammo seems like a very reasonable price $0.69c per bullet. I am going to get some to try. I think most comps use between 70 - 120 rounds. So not a huge amount but still enough to make it expensive if buying Winchester brass or something like that.

FYI that zinc stuff was difficult to extra from my Howa after firing.

+1 for Hornady training ammo if/when it becomes available. Like Gimp I'm only down to my last couple of hundred, I cuddle them at night and talk to them. I've seen some on TM from time to time for $55/box.

If you're after stuff to walk in, pay and walk out with, then Reloaders in Onehunga who also usually get a regular supply of the Hornady stuff. If you're happy to go to Police, wait, get forms signed, fax off, wait for courier to deliver then Belmont is a great option. It's just that sometimes it's easier to drive to the shop and drive away with the components.

$1.10 per shot for Hornady is not too bad if it shoots well. Hey gimp where did you get it for .61c? Was that from someone on the forum?

It wouldn't eject from my HOWA 223 either so just used brass cases. Its common with Howa and VC fixed the problem with a reamer I think when he bought the gun off me..
