Anyone got any good sources for reasonably priced bulk .223? Anything better priced out there at the moment than Reloaders BVAC?

Anyone got any good sources for reasonably priced bulk .223? Anything better priced out there at the moment than Reloaders BVAC?
Did I not tell you the other day?
Nope. What's the hot tip?Quote:

I'll save you a few rounds to try out.

Belmont? Never used it but there was a write up in NZ guns & hunting a while back, they seemed to think it was pretty good.
I got a couple of boxes just to try it out. I'd hate to get 5000 and find it doesn't shoot!

I'm sure they'll be producing more, and there is probably a better chance of getting it from them than the US.
Ah yeah. I'd already emailed them... so that's the best deal around then.
They certianly seem hard to beat on brass.Quote:

Not as far as I'm aware, there must be European sources though.
Anyone tried these guys?
ORDNANCE DEVELOPMENTS LTD ::: Training & Special Purpose Ammunition ::: Wanganui New Zealand
They supply ammo for military and Police.
Maybe get everyone together for a massive bulk buy and then ask for some prices.
Sorry, just realised that they're Belmont Ammo.
The zinc coated stuff from Belmont was hard to extract in my Howa. Accurate enough but after a few rounds I packed it away as I didn't want to have a jam. Luckily I still have a few boxes of that Hornady training ammo left :thumbsup:
Swine! I've only got 15 rounds left. Still the Winchester that I replaced the pill in seems to shoot almost as good with same speed and POI at 100m as the training ammo.Quote:

A group buy might be a good idea.
I still have about 1200rds of steel cased training ammo. And like 1500 empty brass to reload.
Do you have 1500 primers though?Quote:

You can buy some, say $1000 a box ! There's some other Belmont brass stuff in the plastic bag I got last year when Belmont were having a Xmas special with no shipping costs, so I grabbed a fair few things I could get my hands on.
Must give the Winchester stuff a go one day, just for shits 'n giggles.

I like to have lots of cheap ammo to practice shooting straight with.
I know where you can get some bloody expensive Hornady :D
Last time I looked there was a fair bit of the brass hornady training ammo at the importers . The steel stuff is on the dont know when list .
What's the price on that stuff? Taieri Arms charged me like $70/50rds in 2010, is it still $rape?Quote:

I hope the increase in popularity of AR15s etc brings the general price of bulk .223 ammo down a lot.
Might do but little old NZ's orders are very small scale even with the recent jump in AR ownership so we dont get the volume discounts sadly .
Yes it is gimp, but you know he'll do the gunshop thing given a fraction of a chance. Cocksucker he is.
And Kscott, that is two night worth if there's sweet FA around....
Exactly the same problem... Brass case no problems ... Weird ??Quote:

Yup. I'll use 1/2 of it next weekend anyway on a target shoot going on. But the moment Reloaders get more in I'm buying another case, I just hope it's soon.Quote:
