Thread: .223 off the shelf ammo

I get the Buffalo from Magnum Sports here in Stratford. There are 2 types; one with the 55gr Blitzking and one with the 55gr Gameking. I've been using the Gamekings on goats and even on big shaggy billies it doesn't blow the shoulders to hell and back. Very little wasted meat. So I'd say it must be a fairly robust projectile; probably ideal for fallow etc. Accurate too. I'm sure any gun shop would order some in? H&F don't have it; maybe because it might compete with their own branded cheaper 223 ammo?

When i reload 223 which isnt often now, my go to projectile is the 55 gr hollowpoint gameking, flies like a brick but hangs together and penetrates. 200 yds is its max practical range though plenty of reds and a scrub bull can testify.
Now for most shooting i use the 62 gr belmont black loaded rounds are literally the same price as the sierra projectiles alone.
