Hey guys. I'm looking for some recommendations on some of the more reasonable, heavier .223 loads available to stock up on. Really anything between 69-77 grains or close. I have shot some PPU 69-77 grain match and Australian Outback SMK 69 grain with good results. What are some other options around those price points of $0.60 per round? I prefer the performance of the heavier bullets and my 1:7 guns really seem to like it. Thanks in advance...

That 69 grain Outback stuff is damn good ammo.  

I sand bagged my 26" .223 bolt gun yesterday and was slingin' 'em into .7MOA 10 shot groups as fast as I could slam the bolt home and touch the trigger. At 100 and 200 yards.

PPU 69 match and 75 match. Not really match ammo, but it is very good ammo.

I have gotten better accuracy with 75gr Gold Dot than any "match" bullets like the 77gr SMK/TMK in factory Black Hills or IMI loadings. YMMV

Priv Partizan 75gr HPBT is pretty good stuff.

Here is the review on it. Note it was reviewed twice; the newer batch offers higher velocities.

The bullet performance for reaching out a ways mainly, but accuracy is also important to me...
