Thread: Best Price on .223

I might try some more once I get my new adjustable gas block on, and get an extractor O ring. Shot a 3" 7rd group which wasn't amazing.

This is the 55gr load? The 62gr load is total junk

Yeah 55gr. "M193"

Spanners stuff works on paper and game,support a forum member?

It's a bit pricey for high volume shooting

Dont see the point of cheap stuff if it doesn't work.

The point is to find cheap stuff that Does work, 90+ cents per round is too high to shoot 1000 rounds every 2 months

I don't see the point in expensive ammo if it's just gonna splat on steel and pop clays, sodas and rabbits.

Oh crap that's a bugger

Theres no shortage of 55gr Hornadys if you are reloading. Cheap enough to use on targets and great killers.

More expensive to handload than the training ammo (when you can get it), have to muck around picking up brass, plus the time to load
