I will be fooling around with 223 soon and I have some xtreme 55 grain to play with. I am unlikely to want to pay up for match bullets. Is there a reasonably priced fmj that is good quality and available in bulk?
Not legal for deer in my state. Sounds like hornady is the bang for the buck in general
If you really want fmjs, Hornady is the best accuracy.I will be fooling around with 223 soon and I have some xtreme 55 grain to play with. I am unlikely to want to pay up for match bullets. Is there a reasonably priced fmj that is good quality and available in bulk?
What he said.Hornady 55 gr FMJ Boat Tails are known for decent quality. 1000 go for around $100.
Those random flyers from an otherwise tight group like the PMC bronze burn me up.I've liked 223bulkbullets.com
$83/k shipped. I think I sometimes saw them running specials at $79/k shipped.
Decent enough for my Ruger American Ranch and AR at 100 yards. Sorting and using the same headstamp brass does help

Not great but not bad for a 16 cent load out of $300 guns with $30 scopes.
I still can't get the groups as good as I could with $6/20 PMC Bronze which my 20" AR loves, but I can't find this ammo locally at this price anymore.

You have several good powders. I have good loads with 4895 and 4064. 4064 is tedious and slow. But it's accurate.I ordered some of the hornady 62 grain soft points.
I have Varget, H4896, 4198 and 4064 on hand. Any of these candidates for an accurate load, or should I buy a pound of something else? At least for starters, I would like the most accurate load I can get. When I cast and powdercooat some 60 grainers, I will work on a less energetic plinking load.
Hornady 55 gr FMJ and H-335 are my favorites
