Found some good .223

Postby wawhitey » 11 24, 2021 •  [Post 1]

Just figured id throw this out there, incase anybody shoots a .223 and cant find quality hunting ammo. I put together a good ar15 and bouggt a 223 ruger american predator right as this ammo shortage started, and have kind of had them collecting dust since. For a year or so ive been trying to find the 223 sierra game changer ammo, but its been nowhere to be found. Its the only stuff that shoots well in my .308 savage ul, and it shoots liggts out in my dads 6.5. Finally found it in 223 for sale and scooped up half a dozen boxes. Tried it out in the ruger yesterday and man its shooting hole for hole. Very very accurate. Best shooting .223 ammo ive tried yet, hands down. Hard to find good quality hunting ammo right now, so i stocked up, and they still have plenty left. Just incase anybody is looking. https://www.luckygunner.com/223-rem-64- ... -20-rounds

A buddy I hunt geese with bought a new 270 and wants to work up some loads.. He has plenty of brass and components,, just no bullets.

I ran to Sportsman's ware house, What use to be 20 foot long selection of bullets has maybe 40 boxes of bullets' for reloading total.

Those Ruger Americans sure don't look like Daisy Dukes but they shoot like one. Every person I know with one loves them
