NonTypical Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I’m wondering what people are shooting for target that’s pretty cheap but still accurate? And what grain? I’ll be shooting out of a .223 wylde barrel with a 1:7 twist. I figured that I’d put an order in while I’m waiting on my upper to arrive.

NonTypical Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 I was thinking Federal American Eagle FMJ 55gr but it looks like they’re hard to find in larger quantities. Is there anything else to look for? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Mine wont shoot steel casings ,you can see where the ramps dig into the steel. Edit: it will shoot steel casings ,It wont cycle them. Edited March 17, 2020 by Jeremy K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy K Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I bought a bunch of these awhile back from a guy ,it was his recommended round. The rifle is a Bushmaster A2 DCM-XR ,all the rounds have been through iron sights so I cant honestly say how it repeats unless I used a scope to make sure it wasn't me screwin up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gencountyzeek Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Bulk ammo may be hard to come by at the moment. After toilet paper sold out ammo started to sell out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonTypical Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 I found some in smaller quantities. I’m going to try the Federal American Eagle FMJ 55gr. I also ordered some Hornady Black FMJ in 62gr for now. Still open to suggestions for anything else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeGuy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I found some in smaller quantities. I’m going to try the Federal American Eagle FMJ 55gr. I also ordered some Hornady Black FMJ in 62gr for now. Still open to suggestions for anything else though. Mine runs through that stuff just fine. Actually surprised how well it groups with the cheap stuff. Any time I plink I'll run it. No fire or ejection issues and I sometimes run through a mag quick. As far as the Hornady, I only use the vmax 53gr for yotes, def not for target shooting. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
