Thread: Budget 223 ammo

So I have been crunching the numbers with the view to significantly increased usage in the next few years.
And the pros and cons of using for possums at times in some location instead of the usual .22 subs.

Belmont's .223 SP in bulk @ 60 cents per round

Various .17 HMR bulk @ 50 cents per round

Quality .22 sub sonics bulk @ 23 cents per round

Cheap .22 High velocity bulk @ 10 cents per round

Should be able to do well better than $100 per brick of Sub sonics. Closer to $80 for CCI. If you are near Chch I can do similar for Kilwell (rebranded Winchestor) but we were usually undercut by GC or others.....Problem is I cannot ship it easily. Seeing as you are in canterbury, I could be able to help. (I just need to find it) I do have Fiocchi subs at $90 per 500, and Kilwell is a bit cheaper than that. And I may be able to improve on these prices as this is from memory.

Ammodirect (Jai) has been very good to deal with and I get my 223 from him for my use.
