CamPro bullets

I use them in a few calibres -- .45ACP, .223 when I had a rifle to shoot them out of (thank you Fidel's son for that), and .30-06 -- and they're fine for plinking ammunition. As others have said, if you're looking for precision, look elsewhere.

Speaking of, I have a pretty full box of Campro .223 bullets if anyone...
 
I used their 147gr .308 for cheap practice ammo in a 30-06. Opened up the groups a little but for the price can't really complain. I've also used their plated 240gr in a 44 mag carbine with full power loads of h110 and it seems that the plating is more than tough enough to hold up to the pressures and velocity. Shot one of them into a pine log and recovered it with intact plating and 16 inches of penetration.
 
Looks like a lot of good and bad. I guess I’ll have to buy a bag and see how the shoot. Mainly just looking for cheaper bullets for practicing off hand shots and what not, and not biting through all my “premium” hunting bullets.

campro rifle bullets are very consistent at turning your 1 moa rifle into 2-3 moa.

2-3 moa for the one type of Campro rifle projectile I've tried has been my experience as well. I was hoping that the 55gr. campro bullets would have been a good option for the range. Shooting the .224 or "223" 55gr FMJ BT projectiles as Campro labels them, out of a 233, 24" 12 twist barrel and a 22-250, 26" 14 twist has been a frustrating experience. Even after trying different load and powder combinations as one does, I just can't get them to perform. I have approximately 400 or so left so it would be nice if I could find a load combination that works but when both of these rifles easily shoot 90% of every other type of bullet and powder combination I've tried either moa or sub moa, spending more time, effort and components trying to get these 55's to fly straighter just isn't worth it for me at least.

On the other hand I would recommend these three other options mainly because of the great price and also it's harder to notice if they aren't shooting as well as other higher priced projectiles so it doesn't really matter. Campro - 9MM 115 RN FCP, 9MM 115 RNHP FCP and the Campro 9MM 124 RNHP FCP.
Also I wouldn't hesitate to try the 30/308 147 SBT FMJ, projectiles out of my milsurps in fact doing so is in my future plans.

Just came back from the range and during my load test I was able to get 3/4 MOA and that's using RL7 reduced load for my MVP LR .308. Next time I'll play with seating depth and trickle that load a bit more. Overall, nothing but great, especially for the price.
 
Over the last five years I have loaded 55gr .224 CamPros with a variety of different powders in six different rifles chambered in .223 with twist rates ranging from 12" to 7"

They are 2-3 MOA "plinking" bullet all day long and you will never get any better.
I can hit a clay pigeon @ 100yds offhand everytime with irons or a red-dot with the CamPros and for the price point I am perfectly satisfied with that level of accuracy.
Thank god for CamPro during these tough times when components are scarce!
 
Use them for 9mm, 45., 223 and 308 for plinking. Works as well as any other brand of bullets. I also get the occasional polishing media stuck in the hollow point but the paper targets doesn't seem to mind at all. For precision and long range I use Sierra Match King's in various weighs depending on rifle.

Campro bullets is a great choice and supporting a Canadian manufacturer is a bonus.
