cheap ammo
« on: June 16, 2009, 10:31:01 AM »
Im looking to get a cheap varmint set up - most likely a NEF Handi single shot.  I don't reload and all of my shots will be under 200 yards on ground hogs rabbits or fox - not worried about the pelts.   What is the cheapest round to use in the 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 22-250, 204, 22hornet area?

Cheap ammo is an oxymoron these days. From strictly a cost perspective the .223 wins hands down. From relatively cheap FMJs to premium loads, they are all there.

while not small bore, the 54R seems to be about the cheapest stuff out there right now

There is alot more .223 ammo available than any other round and it is usually cheaper.

Currently, there is no "CHEAP" ammo: only slightly less "EXPENSIVE".
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!
