Thread: .223 ammunition

Swine! I've only got 15 rounds left. Still the Winchester that I replaced the pill in seems to shoot almost as good with same speed and POI at 100m as the training ammo.

Would be sweet if ADI would sell us ammo, like Lake City does in the US. Remember some of the brass cases Belmont use are berdan primed. Shine a torch in before you go putting it through your die...

A group buy might be a good idea.

I still have about 1200rds of steel cased training ammo. And like 1500 empty brass to reload.

Do you have 1500 primers though?

Give or take, yeah. Don't have 1500x 77gr SMK though. Yet.

I'll just leave this here



You can buy some, say $1000 a box ! There's some other Belmont brass stuff in the plastic bag I got last year when Belmont were having a Xmas special with no shipping costs, so I grabbed a fair few things I could get my hands on.

Must give the Winchester stuff a go one day, just for shits 'n giggles.

There is a guy selling 500 on TM at the mo.

Eh, I'm in no rush, I've got a heap already - just not 1500, quite. Thanks though

I like to have lots of cheap ammo to practice shooting straight with.

I know where you can get some bloody expensive Hornady

Last time I looked there was a fair bit of the brass hornady training ammo at the importers . The steel stuff is on the dont know when list .

What's the price on that stuff? Taieri Arms charged me like $70/50rds in 2010, is it still $rape?

$55ish for 50 off the top of my head . Same load and projectile as the steel stuff but better case .
