Anything wrong with Winchester .223 rem?

[anark]

Le Baron has cases of 1000rnds for $436 and 10% discount making it $443 after tax.

ain't that pretty cheap? that's $7.85 a box.

curious if I should pick it up

 

[fratri]

where/how does the 10% discount come in?

member card. costs $25 i think...and it gives you 7% off (says so on the card but i've always been given 10%)

I know several people who have used it & are happy with it.

Brass is a bit soft if you're reloading, but the two boxes I went through seemed just fine to me.

Ever used it before? If not, buy one box to see if your rifle likes it. There's no point in buying 1,000 rounds if your rifle doesn't shoot it well.

Don't really like it for my Tikka Varmint, the Remington 40 gr HP work much better for hunting gophers, coyotes etc.
I'm sure it would be fine for plinking though.

It's all I use in my XCR. I have two and a half cases of that stuff. Nothing fancy, but works just great.
