Thread: Aoraki Amunition Company

Have put 4-500 rounds of it through my rifle on rabbits in the last month.. seems to be decent stuff. Haven't really shot groups other than zeroing over the bonnet.

Strangely, I feel it's somehow a little louder than most other 223 loads I've tried..

As Beavis said, would be nice if they had some SP available.

Damn. They had 1000 xtac 5.56 pop up and I missed out. Will have to wait until June now!

They were offering it to me last week, you sure its all sold?

try an email.

yup it's gone. I saw a facebook post but it was too late. Cheers Steven

Where and what sort of bulk are you getting to get it down to 40cents? Right now I have ADI 62gr FMJs at 26 cents each, or Barnaul 62gr FMJs at 19cents each, then 23gr ADI2208 = 19cents and primer FED205MAR at 11cents.

13.5 cent CMJ projectile
6.5 cent CCI SR primer
16.6 cents worth of AR2206H

So less than 37 cents per round. Powder and projectiles from Rusa. Primers from Workshop Innovation.

Some really useful information there, thank you gentleman.
On similar topic has anyone noticed any significant difference shooting 5.56 spec ammo in a 5.56 chamber compared to 223. Or is it rats and mice in the bigger equation to factors like barrel quality on accuracy?

It's braeburn and granny smith to my understanding. I think top shelf commercial 223 is higher quality than milspec 556 in general, but you likely won't notice in a semi auto. Handloads reloaded for a bolt action are more accurate again.

Some semi's are better than others, price does not always dictate quality ie G36 and ruger mini 14. Barrels matter a lot. ar15s are great, ak's in 556 are a bit wobbly for accuracy but it makes up for it with reliability.

Rattled of 40 at the deer stalkers range. She's on target and grouping very well!. Will continue to support them Shooting 223A PMC
