On the flip side, Speer .223, Nickel Cased, 64gr Gold Dot (the LE stuff) has shot really well and is basically just as cheap.

Hunting & Fishing's remanufactured .223 in 50 round boxes is made by Belmont. A lot of people like it. Personally I use new factory ammo.
That Speer Gold Dot 64 gr. was the best kept secret, at $20 a box!

yup I've put 500 rounds of Belmont through various 223s and only had 1 bad one that must of been a reduced charge weight as it went off like a sub. 1 out of 500 I won't cry about when the other 499 shot perectly and sub moa outta all the rifles I tried them in.....maybe I got lucky

after that I put a dozen over the chrono and they were pretty consistent can't remember the speed off the top of my head but it was faster than I expected
