Thread: Hornady 223 training ammo 55 gr

That's a massive ripoff if it's the steel cased stuff.


I shot a few 5rd groups zeroing the AR tonight, less than 1.5moa consistently in rapidly fading light with 4x ACOG, not shooting slowly.

Any one tried the fiocchi 223 55gr fmj, im gettting good results through the NEA 15, paid $36 per 50 round boxs. They also make a 69gr load and 77gr load. Target products in Timaru are the main importer dont think there is the 77gr load here but they do have 55 and 69 loads

Is it brass cased? That would be a good price for reloadable brass

A friend and I spent the afternoon trying out various loads etc, I have a 20" RRA AR15 and he has a 16" MR1 Benelli and the Hornady training ammo S/P showed good accuracy in both rifles, we then put it over the Chronograph which supprised both of us the 20" barrel was average 2911fps and out of the MR1 16" was 2662fps this was 250fps variation showing a 63fps loss per inch.
Both barrels are 1in9 twist.
This takes the training ammo out of contention in a 16" barrel for larger game shooting dose it not.
