Best .223 Factory Ammo in Handi
« on: January 12, 2005, 12:41:57 PM »
I am looking for factory ammo for my .223 handi, mostly for target and varmint type shooting (chucks, foxes).  I'm not real concerned about long range shooting, I just want something that will shoot well to say 200 yards.  I have only shot the cheap Russian 55gr FMJ's so far and they shoot OK groups, nothing to write home about.  I know alot of guys here swear by the Winchester white box 45 gr. JHP's.  Has anyone done any comparing to the Black Hills ammo?  I know they offer a variety of bullets which is a plus.  I know that ammo is anywhere from 12-18$ a box of 50 depending on bullet choice.  How much do you pay for the White Box?  Has anyone noticed if a particular bullet weight shoots better than others in factory ammo?  I know you reloaders probably have a wealth of knowledge about bullet/powder combinations that shoot well, but thats a little above me right now.  Thanks in advance!
