223 deal @ cabela's

[hometownhero]

This stuff would maybe hit a 10" paper plate out of my 223. Ill stick to hornady superformance

10"? Sounds like your gun is broken....these rounds are known for good accuracy.

Nope get groups of .5 or less at 100 yards with superformance varmint 53grain

If you're getting 10" groups something is wrong.

I suspect your barrel has a fast twist rate and the short 45gr are probably losing stability in flight. Sometimes the lead will stream out like water. Sometimes the bullet won't even reach its destination.

Note that 'budget shooting supply' comes in at $4 more for the powder than WSS/cabela's locally here and their new brass and bullets are all more expensive too. Nice 'budget' store...

You obviously have not spoken with Henry, nor read his ad. He is willing to try to beat anyone's prices. Just give him the opportunity. He's a super guy to deal with.

 

[Idcurrie]

Yeah. I'd love to negotiate with someone rote just to match local prices which have no shipping lol

the twist is 1:9 so thats is what I thought was happening.

They shoot better out of my 1:12 twist bolt action rifle than my 1:8 twist AR. On the AR, it produces some good shots and some unexplainable misses (like 3" off target centre at 100 yards) that don't occur with heavier bullets (69gr).

Factory ammo is for the weak, real mean reload

If you don't count brass, you can load .223 for $.28 for FMJ's and $.30 for soft point.

Powder: .10 (25gr H335)
Bullet: .13 http://www.budgetshootersupply.ca/frame.cfm?ItemID=302&CategoryID=36

Total: .27

Got him beat by a penny! Ha!

 

[Idcurrie]

...because FMJ is a very good varmint round

 

[cancer]

I'm reloading 55gr fmj for about $28 cents a round also. I don't have to buy brass. I've got piles of stuff left-over from before I was reloading.

 

[JOJOPINTO]

I got a deal on some 55gr projectiles that gets me down to .20 a round tax in...you guys can have all the factory stuff you want I need none...

 

[randas]

That a decent deal for factory ammo, but if you think you can't reload for that price your just in denial that you don't have reloading equipment and your telling yourself that its cheaper to make yourself feel better.

I have a full set of reloading equipment and I reload all the time. Once I have a stockpile of once used brass, it might be more economical to reload them (barely), but for now, factory is cheaper!
