$8.75 box of 223 will sometimes surprise you!

I was at the range today and I decided for fun to try a 5 shot group using Winchester USA 55 grain el cheapo specials.

I normally use these to make sure scope is "ok" and to warm up the barrel before I move on to testing custom loads but every now and then I get surprised

This was taken at 200 yards, Remington 700 SPS Varmint (completely Stock)

the first shot was down and left so I adjusted the scope and took the remaining 4 shots.

PS: used a bipod and sand bag back rest.

Where are you buying Winchester White Box .223 55 Gr. for that price? I'm assuming that's for a box of 20?

Me too, they also may have a flat of target loads in.

it ain't a super great grouping at 200 yards no but for the cheapest Factory ammo you can find and for a newbie shooter I don't find that grouping terribly bad might just be me but I thought it was ok.

they are Winchester USA 223 Rem 55GR. Full Metal Jacket.

8.72$ per box of 20

Question is, would anyone or any living animal know the difference at 200 when you placed your shots?? I doubt it... Your groups need only satisfy your intended target area and intended engagement range. Anything better is a irrelevant.

The cost of the ammo really doesn't matter. How well your rifle shoots it does.
How big is the red square? An inch? Two? Either is great for varmints. Wait until you adjust the trigger and work up a load.
