Bulk 60-75gr .223 projectiles?!

[etoast]

Anyone have a line on some of the described? Looking for 1k-2k depending on the price.

Try Henry from budget shooting supplies. He's a dealer here

Epps - also a forum sponsor - often has cartons.

I saw Alberta Tactical had 1,000 75gr Bergers (I think) last time I was in there. Try giving them a shout.

awesome thanks guys. if anyone sees anything else let me know

someone should make these. If you can make a 55grn basic fmj for 15c, you can make a 62 or 68rn one for 20c.

I'd love to try some heavier ones, but the difference in price is just too great. Heck, some of the cheaper .30cal stuff is about the same cost.

your about on par with the jacket costs now, throw in some lead and labor and your getting up there, welcome to a 60 cent dollar

It sucks more when you bring the bullets home then you discover that they can't be mag loaded, and all you own in that caliber ar AR-15's.
If you don't own a Hornady manual you will be scratching your head for a while.
There is nothing on the box of projectiles warning of this.
I don't want others to get stuck buying something that they can't use as intended.

The 77 Amax cannot be loaded to mag length for the AR but the 75 BTHP is fine.

yodave, not denying that the dollar sucks, but how come the 55 grain stuff can still be cheaply made? And .30 cal bulk is still the same price?

old stock, wait until the new stock arrives reflecting the new dollar it was purchased with

 

[JR Hartman]

but what about old stock on heavier .223 projectiles? It was never priced accordingly. I suspect its a supply and demand thing, but it does seem to not be appropriate in its delivery.

the jacket used on for a 55 grain bullet can be drawn down in far fewer steps, in as little as 3 or 4 from the copper cup, add in a bigger copper cup and 2 or more steps to draw the jacket down to the right diameter. Some bullets just end up being more expensive to make due to the tooling

 

[JR Hartman]

ok, that makes a bit more sense.
