Budget varmint ammo .223?

[deersniper]

What’s your go to for budget .233 varmint/target ammo?

Looks like Fiocchi and Australian Outback 55vamx are prices well and get good reviews

Fiocchi with the vmax never did me wrong. I use it in my mk12 clone for ground hogs and crows. Does the job accurately and you cant beat the devastation that a vmax does on the little fuckers

Fiocchi Exacta 55 Vmax shoots sub MOA in my Tikka Varmint 1:8.

I've always had great accuracy with the Hornady Varmint Express 55gr Vmax load across multiple rifles:

The best I've ever used is the old black box Federal AR tipped varmint, it was really accurate in everything I shot it from. The new stuff is still really good too though. The Federal varmint and predator has also been accurate in everything I've shot it from and performs well on critters too. The Fiocchi is also a good choice.

Never tried the Australian Outback but its tempting for those prices.

You and me both. That tipped varmint stuff was awesome and cheap. And accurate.
Ordered some Fiocchi and AOB. Will report back on accuracy and velocity spreads etc.

 

[ROCKKREEK]

Always had better accuracy with the Fiocchi 50 gr vmax

 

[Wannabustbunnies]

I have shot a fair bit of the Australian Outback with Blitzkings. It does a good job on the rabbits and foxes and is pretty accurate and consistent in my Howa

PSA has 55g & 64g federal power-shok for .40 cpr

 

[HydroMT]

Fiocchi 50 gr vmax is my go-to.

 

[Sogan]

Fiocchi 50 gr vmax is my go-to.

Shoots pretty good out of my mk12

 

[Mattyh921]

I'm a huge fan of 62gr speer gold dot. I've hunted coyotes with it in 10.5 ar with suppressor for a long time

 

[MarinePMI]

Last year that Fiocchi stuff was shooting well.

 

[KamronG7]

Fiocchi Vmax 40, 50, or 55 grain. I’ve had good luck with the 50 grain.

Any update on te 2 types?

They have been delivered. May get a chance to accuracy and velocity test this weekend

My Tikka CTR 223rem likes Sellier&Bellot 69gr HPBT ammo, it is loaded with Sierra MK.
1/3 MOA.

My Tikka 223 Varmint loves the Fiocchi 50 Vmax as well. Bought some 40’s to try out too.

That Fed 50 tipped AE stuff was hard to beat, I bought 8,000 rounds of it when PSA had it for under $5 a box shipped, still have probably 4k rounds left. It seems to shoot MOA or better in about any gun.

 

[pmclaine]

PSA was selling 600 rounds of Fed "Black Box" Black Friday leftovers last week at +\- $160 earlier this week.

I ordered a case, arrived at my sisters yesterday, will use it in a class at Sig.

 

[deersniper]

Preliminary results say AOB is the winner. Have to shoot it out of a bolt gun and also chrono some to make a decision.

Yes I know my shooting is awful.
