.223 ammo ???
« on: January 23, 2007, 04:59:57 PM »
Have been using WWB 45 gr JHP varmint with nice accuracy. cover 3 shots with a quarter, but am having trouble finding it.  Have heard that Winchester is fazing it out.  What are you guys using?? Don't want to have to buy a bunch of stuff to find out what "dosen't" work, and I don't reload. What are you guys using in factory loads that you are happy with? Thanks for the help!!

The ultramax 50 grn sp's shoot pretty good and they are reasonable in price.

The black hills 50 gr vmax rounds shot really well, the new ones are a little pricey.  I ordered a whole bunch of ultramax 50 gr nosler ballistic tips the other day.  Getting the same results out of them.  I got 250 rounds for $95.  That should cover a couple rounds of woodchucking her in PA.

Bass Pro in Harrisburg had few boxes of Win WB a couple weeks ago.  Price was $16 if I recall.

...the reason there is a shortage, they're shipping a lot overseas (Iraq,) Those S.A.W.s & AR-15's are spitting them out faster than the military can make them.
