Frontier Cartridge .223 68 gr match

[Hollow Point]

Anyone tried this ammo? price looks good.

 

[Mike112288]

I have some. I wanna see if my bighorn tl3 223 likes them or not with the 1-8” twist barrel

 

[DaveMachine]

The 1:8 should stabilize them just fine.

 

[Mike112288]

Oh yeah easily I’m sure. 75 grain eld or 88 eld would be my preference

 

[coleman1495]

It’s okay. Shot mediocre from my CZ 527. Almost seems like a waste of a 68gr BTHP.

 

[Mike112288]

1-8” twist on your 527? I have a 527 carbine with 1-8 twist

 

[Hollow Point]

i'm looking to try it out of 1-9 twist. 16.5 inch hb rem 783.

 

[Mike112288]

Should work well with 1-9”

If it's a Hornady Projectile, maybe not so good. On hot humid days they should be fine, but at your elevation they may not shoot well, almost a certainty they won't shoot well in cold weather out of a 16" barrel. According to Bryan Litz the 68 gr Hornady HPBT requires more spin than a 77 gr SMK.

My Remington 700 1/9 loves them! As well the the 75gr T2( was designed for 1/9 twists) lower BC then the normal 75 gr

The brass is also very good

 

[Jamie]

Also it is not the normal 68gr Hornady BTHP

1-9 twist. I handload the 68 BTHP with 24.5hr Varget, Hornady brass for excellent accuracy. Results are way better than the Frontier ammunition.

 

[coleman1495]

Also it is not the normal 68gr Hornady BTHP

Makes sense now

 

[Mike112288]

I wish they loaded it with 75 grain eld Match bullets. That and the 88 grain eld is what I wanna use

Then buy the Hornady match......

In two of my rifles both the 68 and 75 Frontier are awesome. And the brass is very good for loading

 

[Mike112288]

I didn’t know there was frontier 75 grain rounds

 

[rdavidson]

yes, its a hornady 75gr T2 bthp. some good youtube videos on the ballistics of the bullet.
i personally cant wait to try them on boar and coyotes.
