Title: If you're reloading .223 ammo, these bullets might be a good deal for you
Post by: M1A4ME on September 30, 2018, 04:58:27 PM
I have no connection with the company and can't say one way or the other if the bullets are good bullets or not.

It just looked like a pretty good price to me.  If I hadn't ordered a big box of Hornady 55 grain FMJBT awhile back I'd try some of these.

Thanks for the info. Just ordered a few thousand for plinking.

Did a search since I shoot hornady and these were a little cheaper. Seems like they are fine for plinking but where accuracy is concerned, stick with hornady. Bought some extreme 223 bullets and found out they only like slower velocities and not that great for distance. 

Shop around enough and hornady fmj and soft points can be found for .07-.08 cents a piece.

I am looking for match quality 223 in the 69 - 75gr range.  Its what my AR likes best.  I use 55gr M193 for HD or plinking, hard to beat factory prices when on sale.  But need the larger bullet to gain accuracy and precision in my 1:8 twist barrel for 3gun matches.
