Thread: Hornady 223 training ammo 55 gr

Its Probably been asked before , but anyone use it? . If it shoots well enough out of my new howa , can't see point in reloading at 65cents ech , and I won't have to walk the hill with pockets full of used brass and firstly find it in the briars and gorse . What's your thoughts ?

I'm heading down the same route after seeing a fair few use it at the Wallaby shoot earlier in the year. Mind you I have about 600 pieces of 223 brass sitting here waiting to be loaded and 300 projectiles.

Groups really well in my Rock River. Found it to be somewhat inconsistent at killing goats. It is good quality ammo.

Yes it is good stuff. My A-bolt likes it, and I use it most days shooting plovers, gulls, hares & rabbits, goats, pigs, deer etc. Have used a couple thousand rounds of it now. For the price of it, it's nearly cheaper to run my 223 than my 22WMR. Can't see any downsides.

Is the brass cased stuff any better or just a waste?

It seems to be exactly the same, same box, same projectile, 'training ammo' but brass.

It's more expensive

Haha pretty much answered my question.

You've obviously used it and it doesnt shoot or kill any better?

Chris

I just picked up 1000 rounds might try it and order in another lot

It's awesome ammo



Best grouping I've ever had, chrony'd 5 rounds from 3100 - 3118 with the suppressor on.



Haven't been able to repeat that on my last shoot though but I use this ammo for silhouette shooting at 200m.

AR15 Norinco, 20" barrel, 30rnd mag testing. open sights, 100yrds. rapid fire.

Am wondering if I even bother reloading 223 with this ammo going so good.

Is their anywhere cheaper then Guncity, they are at $75 for 100rnds?

Almost everywhere. I paid $610/1000.

Seriously just forget that Gun City exist, they're appalling assholes with terrible pricing, ethics and customer service.

But what is price in 100rnd lots. They are cheap ammo compared to home though. Im not really keen on their firearms but ammo seems ok.

Ask your local store to price-match, don't support Gun City being assholes.
