Thread: Hornady 223 training ammo 55 gr

Had a fax come through from hornady.

No training ammo till June at the earliest .

They are doing better prices on the brass cased versions but will still be @$50 or so per 50. So if your local has some steel left buy them !

Gunworks has a good supply

They are only selling one box per customer. I'll have to pop back out again next week.

shoots not too bad. 3 shots at 250 meters. a lot of wallabies this weekend, all clean kills with the right shot.



yes it's a little off centre, disappointing.


also it is sloow slloooooow slooooooooowwwwwww

No chance of it burning out your barrel then eh Gimp. LOL

I'm working on it pretty hard

I checked some brass training ammo and I had it at 2840 (ish) out of a 14.5" barrel - not too bad, box says 3240 (so whats that about 40 fps loss per inch?)

What we got with the steel case training stuff:

Gun, twist, Suppressed, Unsupppressed
REM 700 tactical 20 inch heavy: 1:9, 3006, 2967
Savage Classic 20 inch: 1:9, 2986, 2987
Howa 1500 20 inch: 1:12, 3105, 3041
Tikka T3 22 inch: 1:8, 3149, 3130

We also tried Hornady 53gr Superformance as well in the Howa and it was 3340 so a lot quicker.

Just picked up another 1,000 rounds yesterday off Reloaders, $680. They have @3,000 left, are expecting more at some stage, they just weren't too sure when. So figured it was a good time to grab some with Easter and another rabbit sniping tripped booked

The thieving pricks, they know it's in short supply.

Cameron (sp?) are saying that NZ goes through 500G a quarter. Wrong. That's all they import. If there was more, a lot more it would get used. Wankers. This stuff is always running out unless you don't mind getting bent over.

At the supply rate we get it (very bad) I'll have to get the press back out which pisses me off.

Steel cased training ammo chronied at 2950fps average through my 20"bbl suppressed CZ527.
Easily groups 5 shots into 1.0" at 100yds.
Have shot goats with it no probs.Paid $38.00 per box.

GH.

Anybody want to sell me some of the Horny .223 brass from the 50 packs? My .223 loves it
