None of those 168s leftJust bought 500 Speer 30 cal 168 gr Match bullets for $47 a box from BSS . RJ
I seen they have Speer 150 gr 100 packs for $40 each![]()
Anything to compare too? I thought Zastava would do betterI get OK accuracy with CamPro 30 cal 147gr FMJ at 25 cents each. These group not too bad from my .308 at 2800 fps mv could likely improve with some fine tuning.
Not if you’re using good rated AR500, I’ve abused a pair of 8” 3/8” AR500 targets for years with fmj’s and they aren’t damaged in the slightest. Same with the 1/2” AR500 plates we shoot at the range.Remember that FMJ's destroy steel targets and ranges do not like that.
We pound our 3/4" AR500 plates as close as 200 meters with all kinds of heavy cartridges and FMJ's up to 338 Lapua .Not if you’re using good rated AR500, I’ve abused a pair of 8” 3/8” AR500 targets for years with fmj’s and they aren’t damaged in the slightest.

Shoot lesser grade steel and you’ll crater and deform them quick.
My range is still using plywood over dirt. All bullets go through it so it doesn’t matter. Cheap tooWe pound our 3/4" AR500 plates as close as 200 meters with all kinds of heavy cartridges and FMJ's up to 338 Lapua .
The only thing that takes a beating is the fibre core belting we use as hangers and even that lasts quite a while

We also use targets with plywood backing and berms, as well as Shotmarker targets.My range is still using plywood over dirt. All bullets go through it so it doesn’t matter. Cheap too
I’m looking for projectiles, not loaded ammo. I should’ve been a bit more specific in my original post, sorry about that.norinco is still the best value offering in both (rangeview sports). Pmc is only slightly more expensive for a much higher quality ammo. Anything above pmc has to be really good to be worth it to me
Prices sure have changed in a decadeWe switched from plywood to corrugated plastic over a decade ago. They stand up well at a quarter the price and effort.
We use corplast exclusively for backing boards in our indoor range, and on our shot marker frames as well. It really stands up well .We switched from plywood to corrugated plastic over a decade ago. They stand up well at a quarter the price and effort.
We used to scrounge our local refuse dump for the scrap wood to build the berms but it didn't save much, if anything by the time all was said and done. We even use scrapped pallets from a "pallet plant" nearby on occasion. The club is a bit more flush presently and some people just can't handle shooting up recycled, soooooo.
$30+ for plywood, under $20 for the corrugated plastic. Lighter, stands up better and it doesn't get stolen.Prices sure have changed in a decade
You can even patch it if you want to, by cutting a corresponding patch for the shot out part and using duct tape to attach the patch!$30+ for plywood, under $20 for the corrugated plastic. Lighter, stands up better and it doesn't get stolen.
