    The above is a one off case.

    HMR is $37 last couple packets I bought.
    The 223 is $50-$55 range.

    If you buy right the difference can be negligible…

    We're pricing 223 at present for 4 of us and bulk buy it will cost $40 for every 50. Belmont 55gr softnose are $800 for 1000 delivered. Shared purchase a big saving - but yes keen to get back to 22 and 22 costs.

    Belmont used to make a 55 gr frangible for small game control. Two years ago I got a can $400 per 1000, it made the option of buying a 17 redundant. I have no idea if they still do it though.

    Team are revisiting the same block near Tekapo end of this month. Looking forward to that - new-to-me Howa 223 is a very precise shooter and keen to give it a blast.

    Have always liked Tekapo, south Canterbury area - very different from our stamping grounds in north Cantab. Canterbury a hell of a big province - bigger than some european countries - and with very diverse land character.

    As mentioned above .. any reason to head down that way is a good reason.
